Three Bakers Breads: Review and Giveaway

Three Bakers logo

Three Bakers is a family-owned company based in Moscow, Pennsylvania, specializing in gluten-free breads, buns, and pizzas.

I love Jane’s story of how Three Bakers came to be.  And I love their promise to make products that taste good, are certified gluten free, are free of dairy (except the pizza), soy, and GMOs, and also contain natural ingredients, fiber, and whole grains.

Recently, gluten-free son and I had the opportunity to try several of their products, and we were impressed.

7 Ancient Grains Bread

Three Bakers Bread

The loaf is a typical size for gluten-free bread.  It definitely has whole-grain characteristics, with a bit of a crunch from the seeds and a hearty flavor and weight.  The bread was soft without being toasted and held together well.  I was impressed! It would be a great choice for sandwiches.

Hot Dog Buns

Three Bakers Hot Dog Bun

Like most gluten-free products, the hot dog buns end up in two pieces when you put a hot dog in the middle.  That was no surprise.  The bread itself was very good.  It was as good as other hot dog buns I have tried.  I did not need to warm the bread in order for it to be soft, though I wouldn’t consider it light and fluffy.  Gluten-free son particularly likes eating hot dogs and was happy with these buns.

Pizza Crust

Three Bakers Pizza

Three Bakers does sell cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizzas, but what I sampled was only the pizza crust.

It is a nice thin crust that gets crunchy on the edges when baked.  It holds together well and allows you to easily pick up a slice and eat it by hand.  The crust is individual sized.

My son and I both enjoyed it.  Something about the flavor seemed a little odd to me, but my son didn’t notice it.  It was still a very enjoyable pizza.

Hoagie Rolls

Three Bakers Hoagie Roll

I wanted to give you a good look at this roll without food on it.   Of course, the picture doesn’t do it justice.  This is a very nice soft bread.  It makes a great sandwich roll, but my son commented that if you cut it in slices it would also be perfect served as bread to eat with spaghetti.

I haven’t tried the hamburger rolls yet.  Mostly because it’s winter and we’re not grilling.  And because I am severely limiting my carbs.  But based on the other rolls, I’m confident that they will be soft and tasty.

Some of the products I tried when they arrived, and others I froze and then thawed before eating.  Freezing didn’t seem to have any negative effect.  Also, the products kept well on the counter for several days without becoming dry or crumbly.  That’s a significant plus with gluten-free products!

Where to Connect and Purchase

I highly recommend these products.  You can buy them from the Three Bakers web site, and they are also available in some stores.

  1. Thanks for posting the review and giveaway! They sound yummy!

    • I can’t tell you how much i love your GF no rye, rye bread, on my second loaf since i discovered your brand, it taste just like regular rye bread with out gluten, I make grilled cheese with it etc. I suffer with Gastroparaesis, so it’s hard to find bread/gf items that won’t give me pain and symptoms later, Well I found it your rye bread surely agreed with my stomach..thank you so Much, I can’t wait to try your other breads, rolls, pizza
      thanks so much!!

  2. I just found your site and signed up for your newsletter. I am not celiac but am on an anti-yeast diet, and also I have MS so cutting out the wheat in my diet. Dairy free- except yogurt and kiefer (little cheese now and then); sugar free, using natural substitute but that does not include honey or maple syrup. I was just thinking last night I’d love some french bread with my spaghetti. I want to try your french bread recipe and look forward to trying your other recipes as well.
    Thanks, Jane

  5. This is great! Just found your blog! I am gluten free for 9 months now due to being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and am doing everything I can to keep this auto immune disease from getting worse! Great information keep up the good work!

  8. I so much like to try new breads. If I don’t win this I’ll make a point to try their bread soon. I remember when we had all types of bread brands to choose from and now we are limited in our stores. If only we can get them stores to realize we don’t eat just 1 brand of bread and we need more then 1 choice…. Right!!? Well that’s what is going on at my local stores. “I’m voicing for more brand of breads.” We have 1 brand…. Blahhhh.

    Good luck everyone and remember to voice your opinion on the brands of gluten free breads in your stores!!

  11. My fiance was just put on a gluten free diet. We are looking for good tasting bread substitutes. I’m excited I found your blog and can’t wait to try out some recipes. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  12. Thanks for the review. It would be great to try a different bread.

  13. We are recently Gluten free and are having a difficult time adjusting. Your website is a God-send. Good Breads are particularly hard to find. Would love to win!
    Thank you!

  14. I would LOVE to win. I love trying new Breads, always a challenge to find a good one, but they are out there.

  15. Thanks for this review and the giveaway! I’d love to win! Are these breads free of xanthan gum and guar gum, by chance?

    • I went to the company’s web site and there is xanthan gum in their products – I only looked at two of their products, so I don’t know if it’s in all of them. Look up Three Bakers Bread on your Internet search engine and then look at their products on their web site.

  16. It’s tough trying to find gluten free foods that actually taste good. It sounds like you put a lot of effort into these. I can’t wait to see if Three Bakers Breads is my new favorite! Thanks for the giveaway chance!

  17. I so love the reviews and will need to try this.. we are always looking for a good hoagie roll.. Thanks!!

  18. Thanks for posting a review, I hadn’t heard of this company before, I will check to see where I can buy them. I would LOVE a good sub roll (that’s what we call them in boston, what the rest of the country calls hoagies) and if it would make good garlic bread I am all in, i miss garlic bread!!

  19. The 7 Ancient Grains Bread looks scrumptious. I really miss good pizza & look forward to trying 3 Bakers pizza crust. All the products look wonderful & I really appreciate that they are not only gluten-free but also soy-free!

  20. thanks for the great giveaway. 😀 my two sons and i all eat gf and it would be a lovely treat to have some different options. thanks again!

  21. I would love to try to bread for free! I wonder if it will be available nationally or in local co-ops here in the mid-west. I have never eaten so much bread as since I became Celiac/GF, as it is easy to bring a sandwich to work, and difficult to eat out, and many foods are not good reheated at the office. So – sandwiches more often than I would like with a busy schedule.
    Looks like great bread!

  22. A whole grain gluten-free bread that you could actually make a sandwich with sounds amazing. This giveaway sounds like a rare treat.

  23. My son is allergic to wheat so I hope we get picked to try these new products. Thanks for the chance to try these.

  24. I really want to give Three Bakers Breads a try. I was excited when I saw that they are located so close to my home. I love supporting the small local businesses… especially when they are trying so hard to make delicious tasting gluten free bread products!! We all know there are not many out there. I want to wish Three Bakers Bread luck and success with their business adventure. I for sure will be a supporter. Thank you!! 🙂

  25. I have always loved bread. I would love to try the pizza dough as that is also another one of my cravings

  26. I have been looking everywhere for a great hot dog bun GF. Thank you for the great giveaway. 🙂

  27. It’s hard to eliminate breads from my diet. Would love to sample any of these

  29. My daughter and I are gluten intolerant; and the thing we miss the most is breads, this would be great to have! Thanks.

  31. I LOVE that story, too! Thanks for sharing it, Linda and Jane! We have just tried Three Bakers bread and hoagies in the last few weeks and they are WONDERFUL. Their perseverance has paid off for us all! 🙂 Would love to try the pizza crust and hot dog buns. We’ll definitely be carrying the bread and hoagies in the organic store where I volunteer!

  32. My husband has Celiac disease and finding good breads has been difficult. I myself don’t need to eat gluten free but choose to for his health and safety. I would be very excited to try a new bread and also will check out the website and probably order some!

  33. The products look good!! Thanks for the give away!
    Miss good breads and pizza so much….
    Thanks for all your great posts and recipes…I need all the help I can get.

  34. I found your site today by accident, I’ve been GF for three weeks now, and all the premade breads I tried are terrible. There are no stores around me that carry it, but I’ll be calling friends around the country to send me some.

    Down here in New Orleans, BREAD is king.. Can’t wait to use your hoagies for a good old fashioned poboy!

  35. It wouuld be fun to try a new bread option! I think I would really enjoy the hoagie roll, by the looks of it!

  36. I just bought my second loaf of Three bakers White bread. My local health food store has limited space so they only carry white but I will ask for the Ancient Grains bread too…I hope they can get it in. I really like this bread! The texture is great even for sandwiches. I think they flavor is slightly sweet – and I love that! I would be great to win this give away!

  37. Thanks for the review and the opportunity. I quit eating hotdogs with buns years ago, but what I wouldn’t give for a steak and cheese sandwich where I could trust the bread to hold up! Looks delicious!

  39. We’re always on the lookout to try new gluten free products. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open when we’re out shopping.

  40. I would live to try these different breads it is very hard to find good tasting bread that is gluten free. Only one I have found is sandwich bread by Glutino and it is very good but I would like something different.

  41. They have served this bread to me at school. I will try to locate where it is sold.

  42. I would live to win this! It would be awesome to have gluten free bread that stays together and to have hoagie buns that are soft…yes please!!

  43. This sounds like a good bread to try. I like the pics, it definitely helps to see the bread open-face. Thank you for the giveaway!

  44. I’ve been in search of gluten free loaf bread that has a yummy texture and taste. Thanks for letting me know about this product and a chance to win it!

  46. These products sound yummy–and there is a good variety. Can’t wait to try the hoagie rolls. Thanks,too, for the giveaway.

  47. I have just been put on a gluten free diet by my doctor – would love tobe able to try these!

  48. Thanks so much for this info, looks like things are getting better for me, more choices! Really enjoy your site, thanks for all your hard work. Keeping my fingers crossed for the giveaway!

  49. Have found this bread on my market’s freezer shelf, but as yet have not
    tried it. The only problem is they do not carry all of these products. I will
    see if I can purchase them all online. I can’t wait to try them all.

  51. These look yummy! I’ve never had a gf hoagie roll before – I definitely want to try it! Thanks for the review!

  53. my daughter has celiac and I would love her to have some of this bread. Thanks for the oportunity.

  54. Thank you for reviewing Three Bakers products. They are my favorite gluten free breads. I love the hoagie rolls, and pizza the best.

  55. I have been hunting for a good tasting gluten free hot dog bun. I am going to give this one a try! Thanks!

  56. GF bread that is good without toasting….count me in!! I live in a rural area and choices here are very limited would love to try something new.

  57. I have not heard of this brand before but would love to try it. Thank you for the giveaway.

  58. My GF husband misses sandwiches and rolls so much!
    Love the look and description of the hoagie roll!

  64. One of the things that I hear is missed the most around our house are buns. These look like really good buns and I would love to give them a try. Thank you for sharing.

  66. thanks for sharing this review. It saves us money when you review a product because we know what to expect.

  67. I miss having tasty, soft, whole grain bread. would love to try these products!

  71. I have been GF for 6 months now and haven’t found an edible pizza. I am anxious to find a crisp crust, your write-up is making me hungry!

  72. Just as I got the hang of providing for my milk-allergic 2 year old, we just found out he’s also allergic to wheat and soy with further allergy testing coming up this week. The last week I’ve been operating under the assumption that he’s also allergic to gluten, just in case. So far, the breads we’ve tried have been awful. Just found your blog and would live a chance to try these breads! Thanks for the review!

  73. Thanks for the fun contest. The hoagies look awesome! Would love to make some meatball sandwiches on that.

  77. Oooh, they look delicious! And a lot of times gluten-free items don’t look that great. I’m so glad the ones you tried were good!

  79. Looking forward to trying everything. That’s one thing that I really miss being on a FG diet and that’s good bread!

  80. I don’t eat a lot of carby things but my little boy would be thrilled to have these in the house. The bread and the hoagie rolls in particular look amazing! I’d love to try making toasted garlic bread with those rolls.

  84. Thank you for this opportunity to try your breads. I HATE – repeat – HATE that gluten free bread texture I’ve experienced so far… I’m new to GF and as I learned recently it was a food allergy I had had all my life. Unfortunately I miss the multigrain taste and texture. To have a GF bread that stands up to spreading peanut butter would be FANTASTIC!

  85. Oh the bread sounds wonderful! It is so hard to find gluten-free bread that resembles the bread I used to eat before finding out I was intolerant. I would love to have good hot dog buns!

  86. Thanks Linda for keeping us posted of the latest and greatest. I have a question about the pizza – how was it the next day? Were there any leftovers? I used “Against the Grain” pizza which is pretty good, but the crust turns horrible over night. Thanks!

  87. These look AMAZING! My girls are so excited that there are hot dog buns! Thanks for letting us know about this company. Would love to try them.

  90. We love finding great GF bread to eat. Can’t wait to try your brand!

  92. Been looking for a good hogie roll. Am missing my Bahn Mi sandwiches. Thanks for the giveaway.

  93. These look so good! It is hard to find gf baked goods in our town, and what I do find is expensive and crumbles on sight. I tend to make my own, but would be nice to have something premade that had good taste and texture. So count me in! Smile…

  94. Those hoagie rolls look delicious. I can just about taste them. Thank you for the nice giveaway.

  95. I would love to try these. So far I have not found a good gluten free hot dog bun!

  96. looks tasty. I’m always looking to try new GF products and the rolls look good. thanks.

  97. I found your blog through GFE – gluten-free easily. Soy-free? Can’t wait to try these out!

  100. I would like to try your breads. I have never heard of them. Thank you for doing this giveaway to give people a chance to try your products

  101. I love oe bread and yours looks so yummy – pick me for the giveaway (:

  102. Never heard of this bakery before. I will have to go and try their breads

  103. I’m happy to see a company that makes gluten-free hot dog and hoagie buns. They look soft – not hard a crumbly. Can’t wait to try them!

  105. I would love to try a loaf of bread…I haven’t met a GF bread that I love, yet. Hoping this could be the one!

  108. The 7 grain looks great! Thank you for giving an honest opinion of the products.

  109. Oh my! Its almost spring and I would so love a hamburger or hot dog in a BUN!

  112. All three products look to be worth a try! Still looking for an acceptable pizza crust recipe. Sure would be nice to have an addition in the “ready made” option if this is a good one!

  114. Would love to try three bakers products. Just learned about this company this week.

  115. thank you for being here. It’s made a world of difference to my daughter.

    • Kathy, I’m not sure if you’re referring to my blog or Three Bakers, but either way I’m thrilled that one of us is making things easier for you and your daughter.

  116. In my 3rd year of being GF and I love trying new products! Thanks for the giveaway!

  117. Thanks for this information and the photos. The 7 ancient grains bread looks and sounds like one of those things I have dearly missed since being diagnosed with celiac.

  118. These look like good bread! Since I have to avoid both gluten and soy for medical reasons, anytime I can find products without those, it’s time for me to celebrate!

  119. We always love to try the latest GF products- they just seem to keep getting tastier and tastier!

  120. My family and I would love to try the gluten free bread products, since they look delicious!

  121. I would love to win a loaf of your bread. I have bought bread from other companies that just wasn’t good. I also struggle with baking my own. I would love to give yours a try!!!

  122. Thank you for the review. I have heard good things about this brand and definitely look forward to trying the products.

  123. I have recently decided to go gluten free on my own to decrease other health issues and yet to find bread I like. This will be my next try and hope it’s a success with the good reviews I’ve seen.

  124. Oooh! My brothers would flip if I won this. I don’t make GF bread very often because of the carbs, so they are always excited when we get to eat it. 😀 Plus my bread recipes are never light and fluffy because I don’t use starch, just rice and sorghum flour. So they really get excited when they get to cheat and eat fluffy bread. 😀

  125. I would love to win some of these breads. I have very little available locally so I usually just go without. Thanks for the giveaway.

  127. I am new and overwhelmed..this might be a way to try new bread items..I am used to bread at every meal and I miss it!

  129. I can’t wait to visit Three Bakers website and see what I can get… yum.

  130. I love the pizza with sausage! I hope that our local stores get more of your products in soon, they look great too.
