Bella never set out to start a business. She just wanted a gluten-free bread that tasted and felt like traditional bread and didn't upset her body. So she made it herself, and her gluten-free sourdough bread is all the rage now. You'll not only find it in local coffee shops, but in Hy-Vee grocery stores all over the Midwest! Hear how Bella unlocked the code to gluten-free bread and what her journey to get to this point has been like!
