Baker's Choice specializes in sourdough bread made from sustainably sourced and organic ingredients. They aim to bring back the traditional way of baking a loaf of bread by using ancient techniques and flours. Most bread available to buy in supermarkets is made using a process invented in the sixties that involves high-speed mixing using intense energy, additives, preservatives, greatly increased quantities of yeast and no fermentation time. Baker's Choice understands the importance of time in bread making. When the dough is given time to rise, it also ferments. This process neutralizes the parts of wheat protein that are most likely to trigger bowel disease and other auto-immune and inflammatory reactions to gluten. It also develops more complex flavor. Baker's Choice also has gluten-free bread options.
