Gluten Free Rustic Bread Mix with Quinoa

Hungry Scarecrow Rustic Bread Flour Mix

This is our first baby, the Hungry Scarecrow Rustic Bread Flour Mix brings together a passion for wholesome ingredients and simple, honest baking. Made with a carefully balanced blend of quinoa flour and flakes, tapioca flour, and psyllium husk, our mix is designed to be as easy as possible—no complicated methods, no specialist baking skills—just add your ingredients, mix, rest and bake.

At Hungry Scarecrow, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy great bread. That's why our flour mixes are completely free from artificial additives, gums, thickeners, preservatives and fillers. We use only carefully selected, naturally gluten-free ingredients, creating bread that's gentle, wholesome and made for everyone to enjoy—not just those following a gluten-free diet.

Unlike many gluten-free bread mixes, we don't add yeast, giving you the freedom to choose the raising agent that works best for you. Whether your tummy prefers yeast, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, or our own Hungry Scarecrow Millet Sourdough Starter, you'll achieve wonderful results. Our millet sourdough starter creates a beautifully rustic loaf with a delicious tangy flavour, crisp crust and satisfying texture.

The Goodness of Quinoa

Quinoa is naturally gluten-free and one of nature's most nutritious grains. It contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein, and is naturally rich in fibre to help support healthy digestion. Quinoa also provides valuable minerals including iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, while adding a subtle nutty flavour and helping create a delicious texture in gluten-free baking.

Quinoa is also an environmentally responsible crop. It is naturally resilient and can thrive in challenging growing conditions with relatively low water requirements than many traditional cereal crops. Its ability to grow in poorer soils and withstand drought makes quinoa an increasingly sustainable choice for the future of food production, helping to support biodiversity and more climate-resilient farming.

Created by Chef Babs, Hungry Scarecrow is passionate about proving that gluten-free baking doesn't need artificial ingredients to produce exceptional bread. By combining nutrient-rich, sustainably sourced ingredients with a simple, flexible baking method, we've created a flour mix that everyone can enjoy—whether you're coeliac, avoiding additives, or simply looking for a healthier, more natural loaf for the whole family.
