Our Story
Diagnosed celiac. Missing real bread. So she baked it.
In 2025, after more than nine years living in Germany, Stephania was diagnosed celiac. She suddenly couldn't eat the dense, flavorful sourdough she'd come to love — and nothing on the gluten-free shelf came close.
When she moved to the United States, that gap only became clearer so she started experimenting. diezManos is the result: a German-inspired, modernized gluten-free sourdough — In a world that moves fast, we choose to move with care. Every loaf is shaped by hand, given the time it needs, and made because doing it right still matters. Diez Manos means ten hands. Hands that create, and a number that stands for a community — the celiac community — that deserves to be seen, not just accommodated.
- Founded by Stephania in 2025.
- Charlotte, NC — local self-pickup only.
- No preservatives, ever. That's the whole point.

Questions
Good to know.
Yes. Every loaf is baked gluten-free from start to finish, in a dedicated workflow — safe for celiacs like our founder.
Long, we feed our starter twice over 48 hours, then cold-ferment the dough for 12 hours before baking. The extended rise builds flavor and breaks down anti-nutrients for better digestibility — no commercial yeast, ever.
Not yet. Because we use zero preservatives, our bread is meant to be eaten fresh. For now we offer local self-pickup around Charlotte, NC only.
Order online, then pick up your loaf in Charlotte at the scheduled time. You'll get pickup details by email after checkout.
We use carefully sourced gluten-free flours, but not all our flours are certified organic. We prioritize quality, traceability, and a clean ingredient list above marketing labels.
Keep it in a linen or paper bag on the counter for 2-3 days, or slice and freeze immediately for longer life. Toast straight from frozen.
