Hongyun Bakery uses no imported wheat at all. It bakes only with domestic produce — rice flour, glutinous barley, Korean wheat, and more. Since rice flour is the main ingredient, the bread tends to be soft and easy to digest. ![Bread made mainly from domestic rice flour at Hongyun Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift-09-1t4xr-900.webp) When you actually eat the bread, the texture feels a bit different from regular wheat bread, but that's part of the appeal. It's also a popular travel gift from Gunsan precisely because it's healthy bread made with good-for-you ingredients. ![Rice flour bread chosen as a Gunsan travel gift](https://img.superchart.com/images/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift-10-1ny6q-900.webp) The rice castella was introduced on Handsome Guys as the nation's No. 1, so if you're in Gunsan, you definitely have to try it once. ![Rice castella introduced as the nation's No. 1 on TV](https://img.superchart.com/images/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift-11-c0l4y-900.webp) ## How to fit Hongyun Bakery into a Gunsan trip - This is a Gunsan bakery you must add to your travel route - Egg tarts are limited to 15 a day, so an early morning visit is recommended - Rice castella packs up well as a souvenir too - It's a stress-free 7-minute taxi ride from the terminal ![Bread from Hongyun Bakery packed to go](https://img.superchart.com/images/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift/gunsan-songsong-rice-castella-bakery-gift-12-f0uai-900.webp) ## Final verdict on Hongyun Bakery Hongyun Bakery is a healthy bakery that bakes only with domestic rice flour, with no imported wheat at all.
