Can you Eat Gluten Free Bread Straight from the Packet?

21 July 2026

Can you Eat Gluten Free Bread Straight from the Packet?

Yes, you can eat gluten free bread straight from the packet if you choose the delicious new sourdough-based recipe from Glutafin.

Our expert bakers have worked hard to make our new gluten free fresh bread moist and fluffy fresh from the packet, just like a regular loaf. That means you don’t need to warm or toast it to improve the texture before you eat it, you can just use it like you would any other bread.

What is the Role of Gluten in Regular Bread?

Gluten gives regular bread its elasticity by trapping air during baking, giving the bread its soft, spongey texture. It also helps to spread moisture evenly through the loaf, so that it doesn’t become dry and crumbly or end up with a sticky centre.

Without gluten, some brands of gluten free breads often need warming to even out the texture and redistribute the moisture. But the good news is that our new recipe avoids all of these problems, creating a soft, coeliac-safe bread that you can enjoy straight from the packet.

How is Glutafin Gluten Free Bread Different?

Glutafin’s new gluten free bread, launched last year, is different. Our expert team of bakers have created a recipe that has all the taste and texture of standard bread, but without any of the gluten. It’s ready to go whenever you need it.

Our experts tested dozens of different recipes to find the very best way to bake fresh gluten free bread, and they’ve perfected a delicious new sourdough-based formula that creates a soft, fluffy loaf that’s packed with flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I get gluten free bread on prescription?

A. Yes, gluten free bread is available on prescription in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. However, availability varies in England with some areas not offering gluten free on prescription at all.

Q. Can gluten free bread be frozen?

A, Yes. Freezing does not affect the quality of gluten free bread. However, gluten free bread should not be kept in the fridge as this will tend to dry out the bread and make it go stale quicker.
