Made's Banana Flour Co.

I’ve been a keen fan of everything gluten-free ever since I undergo this certain diet program that would help me lose a few extra kilos. I wouldn’t say it being a keto diet specifically, but it revolves around the idea of it. And, I added a few twist of not consuming rice and sugar, and simply substitute them with Shirataki Rice, honey, fruits, and other food that contains natural sugar. I’m also trying out gluten-free food because, from what I know, gluten-free food doesn’t contain all-purpose flour - which can obviously make you gain some weight from all the carbs contained in it. 

I had my eyes for quite a while on this particular bakery at Bali that serves gluten-free products. All of the bread, cakes, and pastries that they make at their place are using banana flour as its’ main ingredients, which can help those who are on a diet program like me. Its’ name is Made’s Banana Flour Company and, I think, it’s my favorite bakery, yet! 

I made a quick stop one day at one of its’ branch in Ubud and got me a loaf of sourdough bread. Like the other products that they sell at the bakery, this particular bread is obviously gluten-free! The beautiful sight of the sourdough bread was quite questionable at first because I’ve never seen any sourdough that doesn’t use an all-purpose flour looking this good. It had this funny aroma of banana and cinnamon though, which made me a tad bit skeptical about its’ taste. The only way to find out was to try it out. 

Boy, I was awestruck. This sourdough bread tasted delicious and it tasted very much like any other sourdough I’ve ever tasted before, only better! The light and chewy insides of the bread was amazing and the crispy outer layer was simply orgasmic. There wasn’t any funny flavors despite it being made out of banana flour, and the flavor of the bread was sweet and simply fulfilling my need of a good sourdough bread. I love it!

This particular loaf costed me Ro52.000,00, which was the cheapest price of loaf bread that they sell at the bakery. They have other options, such as Multi Grain Bread, White Bread, Brown Bread, Green Spirulina Bread, but the one that was in stock on that day was the Sourdough Bread. Every baked products are made fresh everyday and I was lucky enough to be able to get my hands on one of their bread that just came out straight from the oven. What I notice from this sourdough bread was the fact that it was quite heavy. It was so heavy and stiff it could make a good weapon for self defense.

It took me three days to finish the whole thing. Not that I wasn’t capable of devouring the whole loaf in one day, but I have to save it because I’m on quarantine. I don’t have the freedom to go out anytime I want just because I want to. So, I have to make every slice counts.
