A GF Find - Busy Bakehouse - Sydney, Australia

Meet Lilla Petrocitto, the shy, energetic, passionate proprietor of Buzy Baker is taking GF baking seriously. Walk around Queen street in the trendy suburb of Woollahra and you will see her tending to her customers with care. Lilla is celiac with multiple allergies. She has turned lemons to lemonade with the most extensive GF products yet. She constantly tests and solicits customer feedback on every dish she serves.

This place has the most amazing thin crust pizza. Our prosciutto and arugula pizza had snap and crunch, was slightly sweet and complemented the prosciutto, rocket topping. Buzy Baker had savory pies and gnocchi, a mile high lemon pie, apple and rhubarb pies, lemon polenta cake, Florentines, quinoa and chia bread all GF. Truly one of the most extensive GF bakeries I have ever encountered, this shy but passionate woman has transformed some Italian classics into GF masterpieces - some GF/CF, some GF. Although most have a sugar base, this serves as an inspiration of what creative baking can be.

Enjoy her creations..
