A mental health professional. A functional medicine advocate. A baker who bakes out of necessity — and love.
Kris Hanvey spent years helping others find paths toward wellness. As a mental health professional deeply grounded in functional medicine, she understood better than most how profoundly what we eat shapes how we feel. That’s how Gluten Free Bread & Book came to be, not as a business plan, but as a natural response to a real need, built from the ground up in a cottage kitchen in the South Carolina Low Country.
“I couldn’t find the bread I needed — so I baked it myself. Now I’m baking it for you.” — Kris Hanvey, Founder

Stone-ground gluten-free oats and a touch of raw honey make this braided loaf as wholesome as it looks. A family favorite.
Hearty, nutty buckwheat paired with sunflower and flax seeds. Substantial enough to stand up to anything you put on it.
A rustic, hand-shaped boule made with protein-rich amaranth and finished with toasted sesame. Beautiful crust, tender interior.
