In September, we brought you word of a home-based, gluten-free challah business in the East Bay called
Motzi Gluten Free, started by
Chaya-Ryvka Diehl, who is also known as a raw, nondairy dessert chef. Well, apparently there’s enough demand for gluten-free challah in the East Bay that another baker/entrepreneur is giving Diehl a little friendly competition, and unbeknownst to either of them, chose a very similar name. Enter
HaMotzi Gluten Free.
HaMotzi is the operation of
Lia Barrow, who for years has provided baked goods and challah to Kehilla Community Synagogue in Piedmont, where she is a member. She has a son who is gluten-free and began perfecting her recipe to share with the Kehilla community, which has many gluten-intolerant members. She began fielding requests to bake extra for people to enjoy at home.
