Our Story

Diagnosed celiac. Missing real bread. So she baked it.

In 2025, after more than nine years living in Germany, Stephania was diagnosed celiac. She suddenly couldn't eat the dense, flavorful sourdough she'd come to love — and nothing on the gluten-free shelf came close. Most loaves were full of preservatives, and the demand for honest, delicious gluten-free bread simply wasn't being met.

So she started experimenting. diezManos is the result: a German-inspired, modernized gluten-free sourdough — naturally fermented, hand-shaped, and made without preservatives. Baked fresh in Charlotte and handed to you in person.

  • Founded by Stephania in 2025.
  • Charlotte, NC — local self-pickup only.
  • No preservatives, ever. That's the whole point.
