Simple Kneads: Freshly Baked, Naturally Delicious

Simple Kneads is a North Carolina-based bakery pioneering nutritious, gluten-free artisan sourdough bread crafted specifically for individuals with dietary restrictions and those seeking wholesome alternatives. Founded in 2014 by Tristaun LeClaire, the company’s mission was born from a personal quest to create a delicious, allergen-free bread his son could safely enjoy—a journey marked by perseverance and dedication. Today, Simple Kneads produces a growing line of certified organic, gluten-free, and top 9 allergen-free breads using only plant-based, non-GMO, and nutrient-rich ingredients such as ancient grains and seeds.

All Simple Kneads breads are naturally leavened with wild sourdough cultures—never commercial yeast—honoring traditional bread-making techniques that enhance digestibility and flavor while supporting gut health. The lineup includes crowd favorites like Classic Sourdough, Quinoa Power Grains, Pumpkinickel, and Swirly Cinnamon Raisin. In response to customer demand, Simple Kneads introduced an oil-free loaf, further diversifying their offerings and meeting the needs of health-conscious consumers. Every loaf is made in a dedicated allergen-free facility, ensuring strict safety and quality standards.

Distributed nationwide through both retail outlets and direct-to-consumer channels, Simple Kneads continues to gain a loyal following for its commitment to clean, safe, and satisfying bread—bringing nutrition and true artisan quality back to every table.
