Norfolk Street Bakery Cambridge Gluten Free Bread!

I can barely contain my excitement from eating this bread - it truly is superb!

The Norfolk Street bakery is situated towards the east of Cambridge city centre, in a quiet terraced road scattered with little shops and cafes such as this. I have walked past it many times assuming I wouldn't be able to eat anything at it - but how wrong was I!

I bought a GF loaf for £3.10 (I think) which is fairly standard for GF fare, and no more expensive than the average loaf you get from a supermarket. I left happily cuddling my loaf and excited to cut into it and give it ago.

This is what it looked like- bread! It was soft but with a decent crust on it as well. The texture was light and fluffy and the taste was very good. It tasted like bread - slightly sweet with a very slightly bitter aftertaste. But still very very tasty. I was over the moon - a loaf of bread that actually tastes like bread, that is enjoyable to eat and not a chore! So often bread is just a means to an end - something I can toast and spread something on so I don't go to work without breakfast or something to hold the sandwich filling in (often very half-heartedly!). This is a loaf of bread that I can actually imagine sitting in the garden with a glass of wine and dipping in some olive oil and just eating as a nibble - because it tastes good and is pleasant to eat! I could definitely tell it was fresh as well - I was assured that it was made in the early hours of that morning!

Another slice in and I discovered a bit of a hole near the top - goes through quite a long way but not too big. I think this might be to do with proving for too long. It's not a big problem though. It looks like the loaf was baked in quite a small (width and height) but long tin and has mushroomed over the top. I quite like that though - makes it look rustic.

Anyone who lives anywhere near Cambridge and requires gluten free bread HAS to go hear ASAP! I can't believe this place is only a six minute walk from my front door!

P.S. Sorry the photos aren't great - only have my pc webcam to take photos at the moment.
