For the longest time, the words gluten-free bread conjured up images of dense, dry bricks that tasted more like cardboard than comfort. If you were living gluten-free – whether by choice or need – you were often left on the sidelines of the great sourdough revolution, watching longingly as others tore into crusty, airy boules.
