The gluten protein

GLUTEN-FREE BREAD

EXPLORE more

What is GLUTEN-FREE BREAD?

  • Consumers continue to reach for gluten- free bread and related products, driven by intolerances and a search for better well-being.
  • With gluten protein playing such an important role in bread production, the challenge for bakers is to create gluten-free baked goods that are comparable with traditional baked goods in both texture and taste.
  • Using our sensory expertise, Lesaffre has perfected gluten-free recipes to mirror the aromas, flavours and textures of their traditional counterparts.

Lesaffre is committed to assuring those with gluten intolerances or coeliac disease access to safe products that taste great, with a range of gluten- free bread mixes for bakers.

Characteristics

Enjoy high quality finished products with every bake:

Dough texture: Naturally more liquid, sticky, and difficult to shape; typically baked in a pan
Crust & crumb: achieve a round loaf with an appetizing crust and a soft, melt‑in‑the‑mouth crumb
Shelf life: Prone to rapid staling due to lack of gluten structure, but can be improved with proper stabilizers and fermentation agents
Texture descriptors include soft, moist, viscous, and melt‑in‑the‑mouth—achieved through targeted ingredient use and sensory analysis

How DO You Use GLUTEN-FREE BREAD ?

Gluten-free bread has evolved beyond dense, bland loaves into sophisticated products that convincingly mimic conventional bread in taste, texture, and shelf life.

Include gelling agents (e.g. pectins), plant proteins, fibers, and sourdough-based starters to build structure, texture, and flavor .

Apply TDS sensory analysis to fine-tune texture over time—softness, moisture, chewability, etc.

Using natural sourdough or specific improvers enhances aroma and extends shelf life

benefits

By combining proper structure-building ingredients with sensory-driven formulation and technical baking support, professionals can deliver gluten-free loaves that delight both celiac consumers and wellness seekers alike.

Reliable Fermentation

A necessary staple for those with medical dietary requirements

Improved handling

Technical expertise ensures dough machinability—addressing stickiness, liquid consistency, and shaping issues

Extended freshness

Natural sourdough and specific improvers help retain quality and moisture for hours after baking
