Oatmeal Millet Sandwich Loaf
Kids will love this bread, and so will you! It’s soft and light, while nourishing. Whole oats, along with their fiber, provide the only food source of avenanthramides, a unique group of antioxidants believed to protect against heart disease.
Millet is a complete protein, and the ancient grain sorghum has magnesium, copper, selenium, and a good dose of plant-based protein, B vitamins and dietary fiber. Sorghum flour is also surprisingly high in antioxidants, including phenolic compounds, tannins and anthocyanin, which help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Get off gluten and get on these nourishing grains.
Sandwich loaf $10
Ingredients: Millet flour*, sorghum flour*, tapioca flour*, oat flour*, eggs*, filtered water*, olive oil*, honey*, apple cider vinegar*, active dry yeast*, xanthan gum*, coconut sugar*, oats*, salt.

Shepherd’s Protein Bread
This delicious gluten free sourdough loaf has a tender bite and a nice soft crust, holds up great as a sandwich bread, and boasts the nutty flavors of millet and quinoa, each a complete protein. Olives can be added. This bread can also be made to order as individual rolls covered in sesame seeds.
This is a sourdough bread, meaning the wild yeasts in the sourdough starter partially break down or ‘digest’ the bread’s grains and seeds, so you can more easily gain their nourishment, and those with a weaker digestion can benefit as well.
Shepherd’s Protein Bread $12 loaf
Ingredients: millet flour*, quinoa flour*, oats*, oat flour*, filtered water, flax seeds*, sourdough starter (brown rice flour*, filtered water, live yeasts caught in New Orleans), psyllium seed husk powder*, sea salt.

Mighty Breakfast Rolls
Perfect for a breakfast- or lunch sandwich, these are light and hearty. What a great combination! These are a lot like the breakfast rolls found in Scandinavia, but they’re even better — gluten free, sourdough, and organic! Read about sorghum flour above in Oatmeal Millet loaf description, or look it up for yourself. These are some powerful foods! Because sourdough, AKA levain, baked goods are more easily digested and quite delicious, we’ll focus on having plenty of these.
Sorghum rolls $4 each
Ingredients: sorghum flour*, millet flour*, filtered water, sunflower seeds*, flax seeds*, psyllium seed husk powder*, sourdough starter (brown rice flour*, filtered water, live yeasts caught in New Orleans), molasses*, coconut flour*, sea salt.

Famous Danish Sourdough
“Not-Rye”
Our travels in Denmark taught us to love this traditional ‘rye’-style seeded bread, but none of the ones we saw there were gluten free, nor did they have nearly as many seeds as these do. This delicious, soft, and hearty bread fills you up with seeds and buckwheat for your day’s work and play. It holds together in a sandwich and tastes great right off the cutting board. The buckwheat in this bread has protein, fiber, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. Flax seeds are rich with Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. Go team!
Famous Danish $15 loaf
Ingredients: Sorghum flour*, buckwheat kernels*, flax seeds*, buckwheat flour*, filtered water, pumpkin seeds*, sunflower seeds*, sesame seeds*, gf sourdough starter* (brown rice flour*, filtered water, live yeasts caught in New Orleans), olive oil*, psyllium seed husk powder*, salt, cardamom*, coriander*

For sweeteners, I use coconut crystal sugar for a little less than half what a recipe calls for, and then I’m using erythritol/monk sugar for (a little less than) the other half of the called-for sweetener.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sweet and tender, vanilla-and-chocolatey, these are a yummy treat. I’ll bake them up in different combos of coconut oil or butter, Kirkland chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips, nuts or no nuts. Let me know if you have a preference!
