Welcome to the world of Panda.
If you've recently discovered Panda, you may be wondering where to begin. Perhaps you've seen one of our breads on social media, heard somebody mention Original Panda or Golden Panda, or simply miss baking the foods you once enjoyed.
The good news is that Panda is designed to make baking simpler, not more complicated.
So, what is Panda?
Most baking is built on starch.
Traditional wheat flours rely on starch and gluten to create structure, while many gluten-free alternatives simply replace one starch with another.
Panda takes a different approach.
Our fibre-first baking system uses fibre in place of refined starch, creating a completely different way to bake.
This means you can create breads, pastries, cakes and pasta without relying on gluten or unnecessary carbohydrates.
Which Panda should I start with?
🐼 Original Panda
Perfect for:
- Wraps and flatbreads
- Pancakes
- Cakes and muffins
- Everyday baking
If you're completely new to Panda, Original Panda is often the easiest place to begin.
🌾 Golden Panda
Perfect for:
- Loaves and rolls
- Pastry
- Richer baked goods
- Coconut-free baking
Golden Panda creates wonderfully soft breads and stable pastries while remaining naturally low in carbohydrates and exceptionally high in fibre.
Where should I begin?
We always recommend starting with simple recipes first.
Some of our favourite beginner recipes include:
🥞 Panda Pancakes

What is the Panda Baking System?
The Panda Baking System is our step-by-step approach to learning Panda.
Rather than overwhelming you with hundreds of recipes, we teach a handful of simple techniques that unlock dozens of different bakes.
Once you know how to make wraps, you'll understand flatbreads.
