Description

Artisan Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter Culture

Our Gluten Free Sourdough is a specialised heirloom culture, meticulously cultivated in a 100% allergen friendly environment to provide the iconic sourdough experience without the wheat.

This culture is a breakthrough for sensitive kitchens! Traditionally, gluten free breads rely on chemical leaveners, but our wild fermented white rice starter brings the complex tang, superior digestibility, and artisanal crumb that only long fermentation can provide. It is vigorous, resilient, and specifically adapted to thrive on gluten free starches.

This is a safe, high activity, and exceptionally reliable gluten free starter!

NutriBrew Mastery Tip: The Consistency Rule

Gluten free starter often looks different than wheat starter. Aim for a thick, muffin batter consistency. Because rice flour is denser, a “thin” starter may bubble but fail to hold gas. If your starter is too runny, add a teaspoon more of brown rice flour to help the wild yeast trap oxygen and create the “lift” needed for a soft, airy GF crumb.

Master the Art of Gluten Free Baking

Whether you are a first time baker or a seasoned pro, our Gluten Free culture arrives at peak vitality. Because we feed our starters daily with nutrient dense white rice flour, you receive a resilient, high performance culture that delivers a superior rise and complex flavour from your very first bake.

Authentic Heirloom Starters for Every Kitchen

NutriBrew offers a curated collection of premium, high activity sourdough starters. We believe that everyone deserves the health benefits of traditional fermentation. When you bake with our live gluten free cultures, you aren’t just making bread, you are inheriting a unique biological story of inclusivity and health that can be passed down for generations.

Gluten Free Sourdough: Frequently Asked Questions


Yes. Our Gluten Free cultures are cultivated, fed, and packaged in a dedicated environment using only certified gluten free white rice flour to prevent any cross contamination. We ship them “active and wet” to ensure the wild yeast remains 100% viable and ready for immediate use in your gluten free kitchen.

No. This is a genuine heirloom culture. With simple weekly feedings of gluten free flour (such as rice, sorghum, or buckwheat) and water, your starter will live forever. It is a sustainable, one time investment for a lifetime of safe, artisanal bread.

You only need the basics: a glass jar, a digital kitchen scale, and a silicone or wooden spoon. Since gluten free dough is often stickier than wheat dough, we recommend using a silicone spatula to help manage the “batter like” consistency of the dough during mixing.

Gluten free grains lack the elastic protein (gluten) that stretches to hold large bubbles. Instead of a dramatic “doubling,” look for a foamy, honeycomb texture and a pleasant, yeasty aroma. If it is bubbling and smells active, it is ready to bake! For best results, ensure you are using unchlorinated, filtered water.

Gluten free starters often have a milder, slightly sweeter aroma than wheat based ones. Because rice and sorghum ferment differently, you might notice a scent similar to fresh yogurt or light vinegar. This is a sign of healthy lactic acid bacteria at work. If it smells sharp and yeasty, it is at its peak and ready for your bread recipe.

No. Never add binders like psyllium husk or xanthan gum directly to your starter jar. These ingredients are only for your final bread dough to help create structure. Your starter should only ever be fed with pure gluten free flour and water to maintain the health of the wild yeast colony.

Yes. This is common with rice based starters and is known as hooch. It simply means your starter has used up its available nutrients and is hungry for a fresh feeding. You can pour this liquid off or stir it back in to increase the tangy flavour profile of your next loaf.

Absolutely. Once your starter is established and active, you can store it in the refrigerator to slow down its metabolism. This is perfect if you only bake once a week. Simply take it out, give it a fresh feeding of gluten free flour, and let it reach a foamy peak at room temperature before you begin baking.
