Use our gluten-free rough puff pastry mix to Bake Yourself Happy at Home®. Use it to make truly scrumptious gluten-free sausage rolls, pies, pithiviers and more.

But don’t let us limit your imagination on its use!

We have formulated our rough puff pastry recipe to make it as simple as possible to make deliciously melt-in-the-mouth flaky pastry at home.  It requires a little more patience to make than our gluten-free shortcrust pastry mix but it is 100% worth it! The first step is to make a base dough, which you then roll out, add butter and fold to create those lovely layers.  Chill, repeat then you’re ready to go.

Our gluten-free rough puff pastry mix requires the addition of butter and we do not recommend substituting this for a dairy-free / plant-based alternative. If you need a dairy free or vegan pastry, we have a vegan gluten-free savoury pastry mix (and a sweet version). These are more like a shortcrust pastry than a flaky/rough puff one.  Our gluten-free hot water crust pastry mix is also formulated to a dairy-free recipe (it is not vegan, though).

We always recommend rolling your pastry between two sheets of clingfilm so that the structure of the pastry is not altered by the addition of flour for dusting.

Following the on-pack instructions, this mix will yield a ball of pastry weighing approximately 750g.

Happy baking!

It takes just minutes to make a batch of gluten-free hot water crust pastry using our mix – you simply add fat, egg and water (boiled with the fat).  Once it is rested and ready to use, you can get on with making a feast of delicious pies. You will be fighting off the wandering hands of friends and family members as you wait for your pies to cool!

We chose to develop our hot water crust pastry mix to a dairy free recipe. It requires a combination of lard and baking block to make it. If you prefer a more buttery taste, you can substitute the baking block for butter. If you are a vegetarian, you can swap the lard for more baking block or butter.

Our gluten-free cupcake flour is perfect to use when you want to Bake Yourself Happy at Home®

It is the same gluten-free flour that we use in our bakery products. The flour was developed by me, Vicky (owner of The Little Bakery of Happiness) back in the early days of the bakery’s development. We rigorously test all our products to make sure they produce consistently great results in gluten-free baking.

In addition to our cupcake flour, we also sell both gluten-free plain flour and gluten-free self-raising flour, which you can use to make cakes, cookies, biscuits and more. We do not recommend using our magical gluten-free plain flour to make gluten-free bread.

You can use our cupcake flour to whip up a batch of cupcakes at home. We have included a recipe on the pack to bake a batch of 12 vanilla cupcakes. One pack of the flour will make 24 cupcakes. You can, of course, mix up the flavours to suit your tastes. For example, try swapping the vanilla extract for lemon extract )and the zest of a lemon for extra zinginess).

You can top your cupcakes with a simple icing sugar/water frosting and sprinkles (always sprinkles!). Or you can pipe them with buttercream swirls.
