Best Gluten-Free Bread and Wraps (yeast-free options)

gluten-free bread brands to buy by kam sokhi allergy chef

You landed in the right spot if you are looking for the best gluten-free bread and wraps. I have found healthier versions, with no additives or preservatives, and there are yeast-free options, too.

With the increase in gluten allergies, finding the best gluten-free bread that is healthier than the numerous gluten-free bread options that have appeared on supermarket shelves is difficult. However, many of these products raise serious concerns due to their questionable ingredients, harmful additives, and preservatives.

Standard gluten-free bread contains many ingredients that may exacerbate your symptoms. These commercially produced breads are synthetic junk foods that should be discarded, not consumed, especially if your health is already compromised with an autoimmune disease.

If you're interested in learning more about the ingredients in your daily gluten-free bread, check out my article; Is Gluten-Free Bread Healthy? Or a Nutritional Nightmare? here.

In this article, I'll introduce you to some healthier alternative brands of gluten-free bread. I'll also recommend some fantastic gluten-free bakeries that offer doorstep delivery, making your gluten-free journey a breeze.

Say goodbye to bread that's holey, dry, falls apart, or tastes like cardboard. I've done the research, so all you have to do is keep reading to find the best gluten-free breads and wraps on the market.

Harmful E numbers and additives in your gluten-free bread

The additives used in processed gluten-free bread are produced synthetically in a laboratory, as these are often less expensive than natural products. All additives have an E number attached to them. Many bread brands contain a range of E numbers and additives, which are often questioned.

Since we have moved away from natural foods and started spraying our crops with round up and carcinogenic pesticides, creating Genetically Modified foods, and hybridizing the shit out of wheat and plants. Creating aisles and aisles of free-from and junk foods, made from synthetic chemical ingredients created and manipulated in laboratories, and Houston, we now have a problem!

Because the food industry is profit-driven, nutrition is not a priority for food producers. Costs are cut, and cheap synthetic ingredients are used, stripping essential nutrients from foods to make managing, packaging, and transportation more accessible, with longer shelf lives and higher profits.

Refined, processed food is causing more illness and malnutrition in humans than any other factor. It's responsible for the steep rise in many conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, bone, skin and blood disorders, obesity, reduced immunity to bacteria, viruses and fungal infections, and cancer.

The food industry experienced significant growth just 50 years ago, which means the long-term effects of human consumption of these additives have not yet been fully assessed. However, if you consider that celiac disease is rising rapidly (400-fold since the 80s),

Many are only now coming to light as more reports of adverse conditions are linked to food additives. The artificial sweetener Aspartame is one example.

Because it takes so long for conditions to arise from ingesting additives as they slowly build up in the system, many other factors can be blamed. The food industry can continue to add substances that may cause ill health.

It is critically important that those who suffer from intolerances and sensitivities heal their bodies and not substitute foods that will further wreck your health. Read more about the impact of food additives here.

Best gluten-free bread and wraps on the market.

It's not all doom and gloom, though. I have researched the best gluten-free bread and wraps, which can be easily purchased online. I've also included some great yeast-free and gluten-free recipes.

SEEDFUL Seeded Loaf with Chia

This is one of my favourite brands. They do many other varieties of bread, so this one is worth checking out. This bakery uses all-natural ingredients with no added rubbish or chemicals. None of their bread contains yeast! YAY

Ingredients: Water, Gluten-Free oat flakes, sunflower seeds, brown linseeds, golden linseeds, rapeseed oil, pumpkin seeds, millet seeds, psyllium fibre, chia seeds ( 3% ), milled brown linseeds, apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt.

Seedful is a range of flour-free, individual loaves and rolls high in fibre and packed with seeds and whole grains. The bread is baked without any flour or raising agent, including yeast. It is a very dense, wholesome, satisfying, and deliciously chewy bread! It's a tasty, moist, and digestible loaf without refined carbs and additives. The entire range is rich in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, boasting an excellent Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio. They offer bread with a variety of ingredients, including olives, wild garlic, cranberries, chia seeds, and quinoa, among others.

Buy from Ocado or directly from their website.

Start healing your body with natural, whole foods, not synthetic chemicals that mimic food.

Knife and fork bakery

This bakery, located in Oxfordshire, offers delivery services. The bread is a little pricey, but I think the quality and taste of the gluten-free bread supersedes the price point. I'm happy to eat bread that tastes delicious, healthy and not like cardboard that falls apart if you breathe.

They offer a wide range of varieties, so it's worth exploring their product range. They don't do yeast-free bread but make sourdough using natural wild yeast. One of the breads they do see below contains natural ingredients.

Look at the rosemary focaccia on the products page, or try the apricot and pumpkin seeds loaf, the chocolate and toasted hazelnut loaf or even some granola. They do such an incredible variety. It's worth a look.

Buckwheat & poppyseed bread

Ingredients are: Buckwheat, sorghum, white teff, brown teff, quinoa, flaxseed, psyllium, fresh yeast, poppyseed, and salt.

This loaf is made from a buckwheat and teff flour blend, fresh baker's yeast, and the addition of poppy seeds. The poppy seeds add a nutty flavour and contribute to the loaf's nutritional content, as they are high in magnesium and calcium, and also provide extra fibre. This loaf has a lovely, nutty flavour and an attractive, malty colour, studded with seeds.

Doesn’t that sound delightful?

Homemade recipes for bread

Buying Gluten-free bread and products can be pricey, so if you're comfortable in the kitchen, I recommend experimenting a little and starting to make bread at home in batches. Then, you can slice the bread and freeze it so that you always have bread on hand. Here are my top picks.

Chia seeds buckwheat bread

I like this easy recipe; you could double or triple this recipe in one go, so you have a couple of weeks' worth of bread baked simultaneously. Cool slice and freeze the slices of bread, so you always have bread to hand. Ingredients include ; chia seeds, water, buckwheat groats,  flax seeds, sunflower seeds, olive oil, maple syrup, and baking powder.

Grain free flax almond bread

This can be used for a paleo diet also. You can find tapioca flour in health food shops or online. Instead of Greek yoghurt, use vegan coconut yoghurt if you are dairy intolerant. If you have an aversion to eggs, swap the eggs for flax eggs. Get the recipe here.

Ingredients: almond meal, ground flaxseeds, salt, baking powder, tapioca flour (or arrowroot powder), butter (or coconut oil), 4 eggs, whisked very well, apple cider vinegar, unsweetened plain Greek yoghurt (or coconut cream)

Yeast-Free Gluten-Free Vegan Bread

This one has a few ingredients; however, making this recipe is worth the effort and time. Buy sorghum flour, Psyllium husk, arrowroot starch, and coconut palm sugar ( or coconut sugar)  from health food shops or online.

At places like Holland & Barrat, amazon, or planet organic. It can be bought at health food shops too. The brown rice flour can be purchased in supermarkets.

The ingredients for this recipe are; hemp milk, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, oat flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, psyllium husk, organic coconut palm sugar, sea salt, and water.

Olive Chickpea Flour Bread

Fresh homemade vegan and gluten-free bread with extra flavour. I love using chickpea flour in bread. This one has a beautiful flavour and 4 ingredients. Yay! Ingredients for this bread are; chickpea flour, 1 lemon, juiced baking soda, and sunflower seeds.

Flaxseeds wraps

Try making these and freezing them in between sheets of baking parchment. Use in the same way as you would regular wraps. Great for keto and paleo diets. There are more options for different wraps at the bottom of this recipe.

Ingredients for this bread recipe are ; Garlic powder, Ginger, Ground flaxseeds, Onion flakes Salt, Turmeric, Flaxseed, Water.

Buckwheat wraps

I love using buckwheat in recipes and have made buckwheat wraps a few times. They are more pancake-like in texture than the usual wheat type you are used to.

However, I think they are still delicious and worth experimenting with. Especially since buckwheat flour is relatively inexpensive. Ingredients for the wraps are ; 1 cup buckwheat flour, ¼ tsp baking soda, pinch salt, 1 ½ cup water.

Food for your soul

Many of us grew up considering bread a staple of our diets. It's incredibly comforting and nurturing for our souls. I was devastated when I discovered that I couldn’t eat bread due to a yeast intolerance. Since then, I have spent considerable time trying different types of bread, researching ingredients, and experimenting with various recipes to accommodate my own intolerances.

I've written two informative articles discussing the downsides of gluten and exploring why gluten has become a problematic food in recent years. As a chef, I recall that ten years ago, gluten allergies were quite rare; in my first 20 years as a chef, I only encountered one person with celiac disease. The number of allergies and intolerances has increased significantly. Be sure to check out my articles where I delve deeper into this subject to uncover the reasons behind the rise in gluten allergies.

Whats so bad about gluten anyway, and how healthy are gluten free breads? Take a look at my Pinterest board with lots more yeast-free and gluten-free bread ideas, along with pizza dough and other fab bread recipes.

I hope I have given you some great information on healthier bread and recipes to try, and realise you don't have to go without your daily bread. Please let me know if you try any of the bread recipes or brands I mentioned in the comments below.
