My mom came in town this weekend so we decided to hit up Austin in all it's glory. Thinking that of course the Downtown Farmer's Market (Saturdays) would have fresh produce and possibly some gluten-free offerings, that was on our to-do. I cannot believe that I came across Serious Sourdough Bakery based out of Lampasas.
Jean Brooks, the baker, has many family members that have Celiac Disease and gluten-intolerance, most influential was her daughter who once diagnosed urged her mom to try and recreate all of her yummy baked goods with gluten-free ingredients...this is no easy feat. So, she now has a full menu "Seriously Good Gluten Free".
Even though the bakery is based in Lampasas (about an hour outside of Austin) Jean comes to the Farmer's Market every Saturday with half of her table full of gluten-free. We got there a little later and she had already been wiped out! I decided on some peanut butter cookies (to die for) and buttermilk bread that came in packaging that was meant for freezing...they had samples and let me say it is by far the best g-free bread I've had, hands down.
After probing her a little more she let me know that she ships nationwide AND you can email her Monday or Tuesday of the current week and she'll bring your order to her tent at the market, which is located on the Guadalupe side. If you are gluten-intolerant please check her out and give her goods a try...you won't be disappointed.
