ABOUT US
We’re Eric and Christie Rogers – partners in life, and now, partners in Gluten Free Sourdough Bakery.
We’ve been married for 30 years and shared plenty of adventures, including moving across the country multiple times during Eric’s 25 years of military service. In 2024, we made our final, big move to Cypress, Texas, to be closer to our grandkids. And after retiring from civil service, we figured it was time for a new adventure: baking bread that brings joy (and no gluten).
We started Gluten Free Sourdough Bakery in our dedicated, gluten-free home kitchen here in Cypress, where we bake in small batches under Texas cottage food law.
Our gluten-free journey began back in 2013 when Eric discovered he had Celiac disease. Overnight, gluten was off the table — literally. Christie, whose happy place has always been the kitchen, immediately converted our home to a dedicated gluten-free space and began reworking all our family favorites to make them safe (and still delicious).
But one thing we could never quite find? Great gluten-free bread. Over the years, Christie experimented with recipes here and there, but nothing ever seemed worth the effort — until she discovered gluten-free sourdough.
In 2023, curious about the gut-friendly benefits of sourdough, Christie dove into researching how to make it gluten-free. She began experimenting with her own homemade brown rice flour starter, and after many test loaves (and even more taste tests), she finally nailed it. We named the starter “Laura Bread Again” — a playful nod to 80s pop legend Laura Branigan (who Eric had a crush on in 6th grade) and a toast to second chances.
This bakery is our way of feeding our community, staying rooted in wellness, and keeping close to the things that matter most: faith, family, and real food.
Thanks for being part of our story. We hope you love our sourdough as much as we do.
