At The Allergy and Free From Show Knead Bakery were one of the very first stands we came across. (Update: As of 2015, Knead Bakery is no longer in operation)

I have heard of Knead Bakery before and have always been really impressed with their branding; I am a huge fan of how simplistic their website initially looks to be. However, beyond the simplicity is lots of easy to understand information on food related allergies and intolerances which is really informative.

Cookies!

Beyond the website however are the amazing products that Knead Bakery have produced for us to enjoy. All their products are free from gluten, dairy, yeast and cane sugar & trust me, you would definitely not realise this upon tasting them!
At the stand I was immediately drawn towards the cookie samples (being one of the first stalls we visited I was still super hungry at this point!); they had samples of both their ginger cookies and their classic American style cookies out for the world to try. They were both delicious, as you would expect of American style cookies the texture was soft and chewy. I haven’t tasted gluten free cookies with such a great texture in a very long time. Flavour wise both cookies were amazing! I am a huge huge fan of a good ol’ ginger biscuit and Knead Bakery did not fail to please me! What makes the brilliant flavours of these cookies all the better is that they don’t use cane sugar; instead, they use natural sources of sweetness to enhance the cookies flavour. For instance they use agave nectar and xylitol.

Not only was Knead Bakery sampling their cookies, they were also sampling their white and seeded loaves which I must say tasted delicious. If you are looking for a new gluten free bread that has a decent crust on it but is soft within, then the Knead Bakery loaves are definitely worth a try. There is a definite lack of ‘gluten free flavour’ coming through from their bread which is always a double positive!

Seeded Loaf!

From looking on the Knead Bakery website (link now removed) I see that they are going to be offering some new products very soon including carrot cake, mini lemon & poppy seed muffins and mini blueberry muffins. With the exceptional quality in terms of taste and texture that their current products already have, I am really excited to give these new products a try!

So if you ‘Knead to Buy’ (sorry, stolen from their website!) some Knead Bakery goods you can head on down to any Whole Foods Market stores in London and also very very soon Ocado.com will be stocking them as well. Additionally, click here (link now removed) for further stockists of Knead Bakery products. It was a complete pleasure to sample their goods this weekend and I encourage others to do the same. The cookies are to die for!

Thanks for reading,
