Product details

Handcrafted by The Sourdough Labs — Made with Naturally Gluten Free Flour, Wildly Delicious 

Here at The Sourdough Labs, we love a good experiment, especially when it comes to gluten-free sourdough bread. After testing, tweaking, and trialling all sorts of gluten-free flours, one clear winner rose to the top: buckwheat.

Our Buckwheat Sourdough Starter is the result of lots of messy, floury fun in the lab — and trust us, it was worth every bake. Buckwheat flour creates a beautiful, resilient starter with a lovely tang and a real sourdough-style rise — perfect for gluten-free loaves that taste as good as they look.

Made with just buckwheat flour and water, this wild fermented starter is naturally gluten-free, full of friendly microbes, and ready to help you bake your best gluten-free bread yet.

We recommend feeding this starter with Doves Farm Buckwheat Flour for the most reliable results. General all-purpose gluten free flours usually contain a blend of rice flours, maize and tapioca starch, with only a small amount of buckwheat, so they do not provide the same consistent food source for the starter.

Ingredients & allergens
  • Organic Buckwheat Flour
  • Water
    (Note: In line with updated UK regulations, our Shipton Mill flour now includes mandatory folic acid fortification. Physical packaging labels will catch up soon as we transition our stock!)

This product contains buckwheat and does not come into contact with any of our wheat-based starters, we also use separate equipment and containers to ensure we do not cross-contaminate. However due to health and safety regulations we must label that it may contain traces of wheat (gluten) due to being prepared in the same space.

Care & use

Simple instructions provided on a handy card, make it easy to nurture your starter, ensuring it grows into a reliable, long-term baking companion.
