Handy recipes, bakeries, and tips for flaky gluten-free loaves, pastries and family-friendly treats across Melbourne.
Gluten-free baking relies on structure from blends, hydration and gentle handling. Melbourne bakers favour rice and buckwheat blends, psyllium husk for elasticity, and sourdough-like fermentation to boost flavour.
Local health stores and markets carry certified GF oats, sorghum and artisan mixes. We recommend farmers' markets for fresh eggs, butter and local dairy alternatives.
Use seasonal Aussie fruit to enhance flavour — roasted stone fruit in summer, spiced apples in cooler months. Nut toppings from Victorian growers add texture and local identity.
