If you are in the Atlanta area, you probably know that the first gluten-free bakery here was Sally's Bakery in Sandy Springs. The bakery owners are dedicated to creating tasty gluten-free foods that are so good gluten eaters don't suspect they're gluten-free! Many of their creations are dairy-free as well! Just in time for Thanksgiving, Sally's Bakery is offering specialty holiday staples and treats. They also tweaked their hamburger buns a bit so they're a normal size and are said to be just like a normal gluten containing bun! I've placed my holiday order and am excited to try some new items from Sally's on Thanksgiving!
With the bakery owner's permission, I'm posting their most recent newsletter below.

UPDATE 11-17-11: I picked up my order from Sally's Bakery today and the soft, FRESH hamburger buns demanded we have burgers for dinner. We paired bun-less burgers from Five Guys with Sally's 'new and improved' hamburger buns. Well, believe it or not - the new buns are really improved even though they were pretty tasty before! While I've never had a gluten bun at Five Guys, my husband gets them most of the time and he said without question that the Sally's Bakery buns were much better than the gluten buns he normally gets! Now that is impressive - and surprising!
It's important to note that the buns need to be refreshed after they've been frozen and you must use a low temperature (200-250 degrees) to do this. I like warm buns so even though I could have eaten the very soft buns right out of the bag, I heated them slightly at 250 in the toaster oven. Now we have another thing to be thankful for at this special time of year - delicious gluten-free buns from Sally's Bakery!
