What is the Panda Baking System?
Real Baking, Reinvented
The Panda Baking System is more than a collection of recipes.
It’s a structured way of baking designed to help people create real breads, wraps, pastries, cakes and everyday favourites without relying on gluten, heavy starches or complicated ingredients.
Instead of trying to copy traditional flour with ultra-processed starch blends, Panda takes a different approach entirely.
We replace structure with fibre.
That simple shift changes how baking works.
The result is a flexible baking system that allows you to create everything from soft sandwich rolls and fluffy brioche buns to rich stable pastry, protein breads and everyday wraps — all using the same core foundations.
The Foundation of the Panda System
Every Panda recipe begins with one of our core fibre-first flour foundations.
Original Panda Flour®
Our original blend of bamboo fibre, coconut flour and psyllium husk was developed to create flexible doughs and simple everyday baking with very low carbohydrates and no gluten.
Original Panda Flour® is ideal for:
- Wraps
- Flatbreads
- Cakes
- Pancakes
- Soft dough recipes
- Everyday baking
Its light neutral flavour and high fibre structure make it incredibly versatile.
Golden Panda Flour®
Golden Panda Flour® builds on the original system by replacing coconut flour with golden linseed.
This creates a richer flour with:
- Lower carbohydrates
- Higher natural fats
- Softer crumb structure
- Improved pastry handling
- Richer flavour and colour
Golden Panda Flour® excels in:
- Bread baking
- Brioche
- Pastry
- Loaves
- Cookies
- Rich doughs
Its higher natural fat content and fibre structure help create doughs that feel richer, more stable and easier to handle while maintaining very low carbohydrates.
Together, these two foundations form the base of the Panda Baking System.
Engineered Baking Blends
As Panda evolved, it became clear that different styles of baking required different balances of hydration, structure and rise.
That led to the creation of our engineered baking blends.
These are not simply “flour mixes.”
Each blend is designed to solve a specific baking challenge.
Panda Bread Flour
Designed to create soft, structured breads with proper rise and texture.
By balancing fibre structure with controlled raising agents and fermentation support, Panda Bread Flour allows low-carb and gluten-free bread baking to feel far more familiar and reliable.
This system powers recipes such as:
- Soft Rolls
- Puffets
- Protein Loaf
- Brioche Buns
- Sub Rolls
- Pittas
- Bagel
Panda Cake Flour
Designed to create lighter sponge textures with improved softness and moisture control.
Perfect for:
- Pumpkin Spiced Muffins

Panda Suet Flour
Created to bring traditional comfort baking back to low-carb and gluten-free kitchens.
Ideal for:
- Dumplings
- Steak Puddings
- Crumble Toppings
- Suet Pastry
Panda Pastry System
Designed to create rich, stable pastry with excellent handling and structure, without relying on gluten or starch-heavy blends.
Ideal for:
- Sausage Rolls
- Pies
- Quiche Bases
- Danish-Style Bakes
- Savoury Pastry Recipes
Understanding the Panda Principles
The Panda Baking System works differently from traditional wheat baking.
Understanding a few simple principles makes the entire system easier and far more enjoyable to use.
Hydration Matters
Fibre absorbs far more liquid than traditional flour.
That’s why Panda doughs often begin much softer or wetter than people expect.
As the fibres hydrate, the dough structure develops naturally.
Resting Changes Everything
Allowing doughs and batters to rest gives the fibres time to absorb moisture evenly.
This improves:
- Texture
- Flexibility
- Rise
- Consistency
Cooling Is Part of Baking
Many Panda breads continue setting as they cool.
Slicing too early can trap moisture and affect the final crumb.
Patience often creates better bread.
Simplicity Wins
One of the goals behind Panda has always been making baking feel possible again.
No complicated methods.
No endless ingredients.
No confusing jargon.
Just simple processes that work.
A Connected Recipe System
One of the biggest strengths of Panda is that recipes are connected.
Learning one technique helps unlock many others.
For example:
Learning to make Panda Soft Rolls helps you understand:
- Puffets
- Brioche
- Pittas
- Protein Loaf
- Bagels
The same foundations appear throughout the system, helping bakers grow in confidence over time.
The Panda Learning Journey
Most people start with something simple.
Usually wraps, pancakes or soft rolls.
From there, confidence builds naturally.
Many of our bakers progress through:
Stage 1 — Simple Everyday Baking
- Wraps
- Flatbreads
- Pancakes
Stage 2 — Bread & Dough Skills
- Soft Rolls
- Puffets
- Pittas
Stage 3 — Structured Baking
- Loaves
- Cakes
- Sweet Treats
Stage 4 — Advanced Baking
- Brioche
- Pastry
- Filled Doughs
The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s confidence.
More Than Just Recipes
The Panda Baking System continues to grow through:
- Live baking sessions
- Workshops
- The Recipe Club
- Printed recipe cards
- Community feedback
- Ongoing recipe development
Every new recipe helps expand what the system can do.
And because the foundations remain connected, each new bake becomes easier to understand.
