Over the last few years, I have heard a good deal about Jennifer Esposito’s advocacy endeavors, and the establishment of Jennifer’s Way Bakery in New York. After reading up on it, I have become very impressed with Ms. Esposito’s dedication to not only gluten-free baking, but “clean,” healthy baking, baking of the sort I do for myself, and long to do for those I love and whose health I cherish.

Jennifer's Way Box

Jennifer’s Way Bakery is free of many food allergens aside from gluten, along with the nasty preservatives and processed sugars and fats that wreak havoc on our bodies. Her offerings are gluten-, dairy-. egg-. refined sugar-, GMO-, soy-, nut-, and trans-fat-free, as well as free of preservatives. These are baked goods you can feel good about eating. And without all of these ingredients, the products really do taste amazing.

I am unable to visit the retail bakery in New York, but discovered recently that several of Ms. Esposito’s products can be mail-ordered from her new commercial bakery via the Jennifer’s Way Website. On the eastern US (we count as being in that area), your goods will arrive within 2 business days to ensure freshness, and this shipping option is automatically applied. For areas further west, there are other shipping choices that ensure the products will arrive within two days, as well. There are occasionally deals on different goodies and on shipping, so check in to see what is being offered. To start out, celiac disease advocate Gluten Dude offers a coupon on his site, if you’d like to give something at Jennifer’s Way a try.

I happened upon the site during a bagel promotion, and… pretty much bought every type of bagel there.

They. Were. Amazing.

Jennifer's Way Brooklyn Bagel

Huge, tempting, chewy on the outside, tender on the inside, these Brooklyn Bagels are certainly the best gluten-free bagels I’ve had. I loved all the varieties, but my favorites included the “everything” bagel (I never had the opportunity to try a “normal” everything bagel before my diagnosis, so this was a real treat), and the cinnamon cranberry bagel.

At first, I was wary of trying mail-order bakery goods, but I am so glad I took a chance on Jennifer’s Way. My products arrived fresh and well-packaged, and in a timely manner. I stored many of them in the freezer, where they kept well.

I highly recommend these healthy, delicious goods!

Finally got to try it out.  When you choose the gluten-free dough it comes out in a special pan.  The preparer put on new gloves when putting my toppings on.  And there also was a separate knife for cutting the pizza up.   And very delicious!!!!!!!!!

Ate at Pizza Fire yesterday.  The pizza maker was well informed and, at my request, agreed to use fresh “from the back” ingredients for toppings.  She said the GF crust is frozen and is baked in its own pan and cut using a separate cutter.  They will take care to change gloves.  The GF crust costs an extra $1 and was a thin crust which arrived crisp from the oven.  However the toppings were wet and soon soaked in making the crust soggy. I had the Authentic Neapolitan Red Sauce and 3 veggie toppings.   I found the flavors bland, but perhaps a different choice of sauce or toppings would offer an improvement.  From order to eating was under 10 minutes.   It’s a great fast GF choice, though not the best GF pizza.
