Baking Mixes & Bread from Bella Gluten-Free 

 

 

In 2010, after seeing an increasing need for gluten free products and living with Celiac Disease herself, Mary Capone founded Bella Gluten-Free. As a former pastry chef accustomed to making tasty and ascetically pleasing goodies, Capone didn't want to make just any gluten free product. She wanted to create something that would bring the "beautiful" back to eating for those following a gluten free diet.

  

Nationally known as a cookbook author and an instructor of gourmet allergen free foods, Capone is well versed on what it takes to make a great gluten free product. Knowing substitutions for gluten free flours can be tricky, she developed All Purpose Baking Mix that can substitute standard flour "cup for cup" in pastry recipes.

  

 

Not only did Capone see a lack of "beautiful" options available in gluten free, she found that many of the breads available were lacking and in need of a makeover. Through this, her multigrain bread recipe was born.

  

Continuing to develop her product line, Bella Gluten-Free now offers All Purpose Baking Mix, Pizza Dough, Rolls & Focaccia Mix, and the MultiGrain Sandwich Bread Mix - all gluten free of course. Focused on offering the best product possible, all mixtures use whole grain, high quality flours containing no GMO ingredients. Her products are manufactured in an allergen free kitchen as well, ensuring safe eating for her customers. What sets her apart from other contributors is that she makes both the mixes and baked multigrain sandwich bread loaves, providing diversity to chefs allowing them to use different applications of her products in their kitchens. Her three elements, and the standards by which her products are produced, are focused on taste, texture and nutrition.

 

 

   

 

Bella Gluten-Free enjoys giving back to the community, and always works to become a more environmentally sustainable business. Capone offers food demonstrations and education whenever possible to build awareness for healthy gluten free diets and the impact they have on adults and children. Soon, Bella Gluten-Free will transition packaging from the current poly bags to recycled paper materials. The mixes are available in varying sizes are well, as to accommodate the diversity of needs within residential to commercial kitchens!

  

  

When asked if Capone has a favorite mix, Capone admits that Bella Gluten-Free Pizza Dough, Rolls & Focaccia Mix wins for its simplicity. The base is so versatile - making pizza dough, dinner rolls, focaccia bread or even a baguette. "All you need is a fork and a bowl for mixing." Stay tuned, Mary's lips are sealed but she has teased us with news that a new line of products will be introduced in 2015!
