After cooking GF for four years I finally tried this starter. It took it about two weeks to get good and going, but let me tell you, every recipe I’ve made using it has been a hit. My famous thrilled that I found your channel and your recipes. This week I made your cinnamon rolls GF and wow they were amazing! Thank you
I absolutely love how you are coming out with all of these amazing sourdough recipes, and then you one up it and provide us with a gluten free starter. Taking so much of your time to test and develop these recipes and share them with your viewers is amazing. I have already passed your blog along to so many of my friends, and now I can include my gluten free friends, too! Thank you for all you do! 😊❤️
Oh my goodness! This is a life changing video for me haha. We are a gluten free family and I’m a mom who cooks from scratch - I had no idea I could do this!
I started mine with 50/50 buckwheat and sweet white rice flour, but I found that it created an almost rye like flavor that my kids didn’t like when I made bread. So I switched to a 50/50 mix of brown rice flour and arrowroot flour. I have found that a 50 split of any type of whole and starch flours will work great. The brown rice and arrowroot mix is a great pick for milder flavored goods that are more palatable to kids and people transitioning to sourdough from regular bread.
Omg!!! Thank you for a Gluten Free recipe!! I have celiac and would love to cook/ bake gluten free recipes that you show. Love your channel. Thank you. Stay well and know that you are loved 🥰
Lisa, you always look so beautiful and full of life. Your food and farm clearly bless you with health and vitality. I can’t wait to have our own homestead one day. ❤️
I’ve recently discovered you. Your chilled out vibe and deep knowledge of life from scratch has been a gift. I am soaking up everything you say and bought myself some brown rice flour to try to replicate your video and here I wake up to this gf video!! Keep being you. My kids are 15 and 17, I’m a classroom teacher and homeschooling IS equal but different. I’ve tried both. Looking forward to seeing how you and Luke handle your adventures in years to come. 💖
Oh, my mum will be so happy about this one. She kept asking me to find her some info about GLUTEN free starter ❤️ I would also love to make some videos about sourdough bit with the quarantine I suddenly have kids at home full time... And I'm not as well organised as Lisa! 😆
I've been working with gluten free sourdough starter for years. Brown rice flour works like a dream, but due to a recently diagnosed food allergy to rice, I now use a combination of buckwheat, sorghum, and millet flours with good success.
Hi there, How much of each flour did you use to make your sourdough? Do you have any gluten free sourdough recipes that you have used? Could you share them? Do you use Lisa's regular sourdough recipes to make your gluten free sourdough recipes?
@@kathym2563 I'm not good at exact measurements, but I use about 2 parts buckwheat and 1 part sorghum or millet when I feed my starter. I haven't experimented with Lisa's sourdough recipes (yet!!!) but I have my own gf English muffin recipe. My email address is admin@ahousewifewrites.com. I'll send it to you!
Thank you for the sourdough starter recipe. I had to go GF back in 2015, cardiologists decided the gluten was most likely cause of my rapid heart rates, which I must say my stomach felt so much bettwr after going GF. Then 2022, had my Gallbladder removed as it decided to stop working. Dr recommended that Ibtry to slowly start eating gluten to see if I could. I did and did great, or so I thought!! At firat I didnt notice anything, but after few months the bathroom issues I had before and right after sugery never cleared up, started hurting on right side upper abdomin area. Few test later, learned my liver is enlarged. I had this issue once before, then after going gf it cleared up. So I know I needed to go back gf and my bathroom issues disappeaed aftwe going back gf, waiting on follow upnimaging in few months for the liver results. I hate most storebought gluten free breads but most of all hate the price and al the preservatives and additives as I am allergic to the preservatives. Hoping this recipe will help me successfully bake some nice gf breads. Plus I want the benefits of using the sourdough.
Same here, except it's my mom and I that have celiac and all of my favorite youtubers are showing recipes for regular breads and other pastries😢. Thank you for doing this
When I didnt have a starter and I still wanted to try your recipes I just mixed flour with my milk kefir covered with a tea towel and used it the next day like my "sourdough starter" and it worked well. However, I now have developed a healthy all purpose flour and water starter. I keep it small like 1 cup. Because I like to keep it in the counter for pancakes, sourdough pizza crust, waffles and flatbreads. ... But there are days when I want to do something larger and I need more sourdough starter so I just mix flour and milk kefir. The good thing is now we are in Spring so the house is warmer. That helps a lot when I want to make lots of pizza...so if I prepare same day sourdough starter with kefir it does develop bubbles by 6-8 hrs!
So glad t see this post. I am very gluten intolerant. Everything you do is broken down to the simplest instructions at least it is simple for me. Thank you again. Looking forward to a rice sour dough bread one day.
I'm so glad to see you delving into the world of gf sourdough! I tried for a long period of time to do gluten sourdough, but it lowered my thyroid so now I have a thriving gf starter that I usually feed brown rice flour but sometimes other gf flours I have laying around. It is pretty hardy and easy 👍💜
Just wanted to throw in that I’ve also had great luck with millet flour too! I did a mix of brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, and millet flour to get a great texture and flavor (the best of each one) and it worked great!
Angela D Do you have any gluten free sourdough recipes that you have used? Could you share them? How much of each flour did you use?Do you use Lisa's regular sourdough recipes to make your gluten free sourdough recipes?
Is there a baking recipe for this once your starter is ready to make bread? Trying to figure out a buckwheat sourdough recipe without like 5 different flours, gums, and other additives. Love how simple this starter is!
FYI: The sourdough skillet recipe on this channel works beautifully with GF sourdough starter! I always use brown rice flour for my starter, so I can't say 100% it will work for buckwheat, but it's a good one to try.
I found what you said about sourdough not bothering some tummys to be true. My daughter who is gluten sensitive (not celiac) can handle regular sourdough. So appreciate that knowledge and will not be trying this. lol!!! ;);)
Thank you so much for doing this! I am celiac and as I've mastered making muffins I haven't done well with bread. I've been wanting to delve into gluten free sourdough for a while now. I'm anxious to try it with oat flour. We just grind up oats and use it for everything. Seems to do better than most gluten free flours and tastes so good.
I'm so excited about this recipe! I'm a long time follower with celiac and I'm always so sad to piss out on your sourdough recipes! Buckwheat flour is ordered and I'm going to try to make my first sourdough starter when it gets here!
I love using brown rice flour for my starter. Works really well. I’m still experimenting with different sourdough recipes using my gluten free starter and have loved making biscuits, English muffins and cornbread with it. I’m not a big fan of gluten free loaf bread as I haven’t found one that has a texture I like. Looking forward to seeing the recipe you come up with for loaf bread.
Awesome!!! We have Celiac and gluten intolerance in our house but really wanted to try sourdough! We'll start our starter today and see how it works for us!
Thank you for doing this! I have to have GF. And with my food allergies it has to be simply, very few ingredients, making the premixed bread flours a big no. Most of the premixed flours also have tapioca flour which I also can't tolerate. This is exactly what I was looking for. I hope in the future you do a PDF on your GF recipes so I can purchase to have on hand when needed.
I have made your sourdough brownies recipe using dairy-free “butter”, a gluten-free sourdough starter (1/2 brown rice, 1/2 teff flours) and Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour. Delish!
I grind brown rice for my sourdough starter and grind my own blend for gluten free flour. I pretty much stick to your recipes, but if it's too thin I'll add about a quarter of a cup of coconut flour to thicken it up, since it's not a grain and doesn't have to soak.
Can't wait to see your GF bread recipe. Any hints of what ingredients you are using? I want to order buckwheat flour to get my starter on the go and want to order the ingredients for the bread also. Remote location shipping GMOs super expensive!
I've never tried buckwheat before and those pancakes look amazing. You've got me so hooked on sourdough Lisa. I've been using Spelt flour and that's been great. I even took some over to the UK when I visited earlier this year. I have just turned to normal wheat flour as we just have to buy what we can right now as we are only allowed to go to our nearest supermarket (I live in Spain). I'm loving wheat flour too as it does come out a lot lighter. I've also got some gluten free flours so will definitely give this a go. I bet pancakes made from rice flour sourdough would be quite nice. Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to see how the bread turns out. Stay safe x
I am curious to know if you still use this starter and have you have tried it with any bread recipes etc. I just started mine. Once it is ready, how do you know how much to use in a recipe? I have so many questions.
Lisa, thank you for doing this video! I have tried twice to make standard sourdough starter without success. Both times it started to bubble but then stalled out and never quite doubled in size. Do you think your starters do so well because you have other fermented items in close proximity in your kitchen? The one time mine started to really take off, I was fermenting veggies. Once I put my ferment in the fridge, my starter stalled out and never really regained vigor. I ended up throwing it out after 2-3 weeks because I was fed up with it. I’ve read some people recommend against cross contamination of sourdough starter to other ferments. What is your opinion on that?
I am also excited to see a gluten free Sourdough recipe! I am hoping you will have some egg free recipes, I am allergic to eggs. I haven't been able to find an egg free recipe that is good. They have been like bricks! Help!! Love your channel, I look forward to your videos every week! Thank you!
Since I had to go gluten free again, a few weeks ago, I had been wondering, if you could make gluten free sour dough starter, because I love sour dough bread. Thank you so much for this video!
I have a question! I have celiacs so I’ve been researching this, but don’t think I’ve clearly found an answer... how do you increase the starter? When feeding it after the 10 day period do you not take out as much but still only add a quarter cup? That is if you’re not using it everyday. Also is it however much you take out is how much you feed it? I’m confused on this part and would really appreciate some help!
Simple reminder that rice flour is blended up/grounded up rice, almond flour is almonds in a blender (but before it turns to almond butter), oat flour is oats in the blender.
So excited that you are paving the way for us with this gf sourdough starter. Getting my buckwheat flour and planning to start cultivating. Did you read anything about adding other ferments to help boost and activate the starter? I make water kefir, so I wasn’t sure if adding some of that would be a good idea or not.
Yay! I’m currently on day 6 of my gf sourdough starter! I was listening to your podcasts and then this popped up! I’m so excited. Just a quick question! Did you find that your starter rose and fell after feeding it? Mine isn’t, and it’s only really bubbling when I feed it...any advice would help from anyone! Thank you!!
I've been using a buckwheat, maize and quinoa mix(sometimes subbing in gram, rice or sorghum) and mine doubles in size and falls. However, I think this is because it's more mature and has developed in strength. Hope this helps.
Bridget Harney yes thank you very much for your reply! It was funny the next day after I wrote this my starter completely took off and doubled then rose and fell! I think I needed to increase the feeding to really get it going and give it a bit more time to mature!
Hello - I love how simple and easy this recipe is to follow - I’m in the Uk and finding it difficult to get hold of buckwheat flour that doesn’t cost the earth!!! So I used doves farm plain gluten free flour - which is a blend of buckwheat, rice, potato, maize and tapioca flour - and it worked perfectly! I made a nice loaf of gluten free sourdough bread - it didn’t rise very much but I think that’s maybe because my starter wasn’t mature enough as I used it on day 7 - if you have some tips on how to maintain and look after sourdough starter once it’s in the fridge that would be great! Thank you! 😍
Make sure that the GF flour blend that you use for making GF bread has xanthan gum in it! The xanthan gum will help give structure to the bread, since the GF flours contain no gluten that wheat flours contain! If the flour blend you use does not have xanthan gum in it, you can buy this ingredient to add to your flour blends!
Hi Lisa, I loved this video, can't wait to make some bread and pancakes. I was wondering when it's finally done maturing, and I want to feed it every day, do I feed once a day, with 1/4 cup of buckwheat flour and 1/4 cup of water?
I'm considering trying this! I'm not celiac or anything. But I heard that some people who are more sensitive to gluten that regular sourdough can be tolerable. Anyone else hear this?!
Lori Palczewski I agree, mine was way darker with only buckwheat and the flavor is super earthy and heavier! I had great luck mixing buckwheat with millet and brown rice flours to lighten it up!
when you store the bowl on counter or in fridge what cover is used? do you seal it or just a cloth over? I see the blue lid. great help just started watching
What?! This is so cool that you have a gf version! I've been watching some of your videos and want to do sourdough but we're gf and randomly stumbled across this one. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for the GF starter. I have white & dark rice flour. How do you use the discard in pancakes? I would definitely try the pancakes while the starter is doing it’s thing 👍🤗😘♥️🙋♀️🇨🇦♥️
Lisa I love your video's, a quick question have you ever tried to do a sourdough starter with Flax flour? My hubby is a diabetic and i need a flour to bake bread etc for him with.
Wow thanks for the detailed explanation. Which do you prefer? Wheat or gluten free which one is better. Am planning on starting a sourdough starter but now am not sure if I should go with the gluten free or whole wheat.
i really do like both! no one in our family has gluten allergies, so I'll probably just stick w my normal starter. but the gluten free really is a good option
I’ve had great results with brown rice and white rice flour. I’ve used the all in one or all purpose gluten free in several brands and those never turned out right. They spoiled and wouldn’t turn into a starter. Just a bit more info.
To increase your amount of starter when its established, do you just leave it out and keep feeding it equal amounts? Also should it be pancake batter consistency? Mine is looking thick
Can I use your whole wheat sourdough bread recipe with regular all purpose flour? I can’t find whole wheat flour these days and am even lucky to find the white. If I can’t substitute, what modifications should I make? That would be a great video! I’ve attenoted several sourdough bread recipes and none of them are very good...dense, too sour, too flat, too time-consuming. Yours sounds great but I just can’t find whole wheat flour.
After cooking GF for four years I finally tried this starter. It took it about two weeks to get good and going, but let me tell you, every recipe I’ve made using it has been a hit. My famous thrilled that I found your channel and your recipes. This week I made your cinnamon rolls GF and wow they were amazing! Thank you

You just became my hero ❤️. Hubs has Celiac and can't have any gluten. Watching all these sourdough posts on IG had been making me sad
awe well I'm glad you can use my recipes now!

@@FarmhouseonBoone I'm excited about the English muffins and pizza, if those can be adapted 😄

Thank you for venturing into gluten free sourdough recipes! I’m on the same journey and appreciate having such a knowledgeable clogger helping out.
I am gluten and dairy intolerant and love homemade bread and baking, so this is really helpful.
You are a very good teacher and so generous with your knowledge and truthful about what you know and don’t know. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for doing this! I am celiac and as I've mastered making muffins I haven't done well with bread. I've been wanting to delve into gluten free sourdough for a while now. I'm anxious to try it with oat flour. We just grind up oats and use it for everything. Seems to do better than most gluten free flours and tastes so good.
It’s taken me close to 6 months to find this video. I knew there had to be an actual gluten free starter here somewhere …
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thank you for posting this! I just found out that I have to go gluten free because of health reasons, so this came at just the right time! :)
Thank you for this! I tend to be almost wheat free because it’s GMO in North America, so this is great!
Thank you for making this video because I suffer from arthritis and need this starter for making tortillas

I use Jovial gf bread flour for gf sourdough starter - another great option!
I’m so excited to give it a go, thank you!! As a coeliac this is the best!

Did you find that your starter rose and fell after feeding it? Mine isn’t, and it’s only really bubbling when I feed it...any advice would help from anyone! Thank you!!
I've been using a buckwheat, maize and quinoa mix(sometimes subbing in gram, rice or sorghum) and mine doubles in size and falls. However, I think this is because it's more mature and has developed in strength. Hope this helps.
Bridget Harney yes thank you very much for your reply! It was funny the next day after I wrote this my starter completely took off and doubled then rose and fell! I think I needed to increase the feeding to really get it going and give it a bit more time to mature!
Hello -
I love how simple and easy this recipe is to follow - I’m in the Uk and finding it difficult to get hold of buckwheat flour that doesn’t cost the earth!!! So I used doves farm plain gluten free flour - which is a blend of buckwheat, rice, potato, maize and tapioca flour - and it worked perfectly! I made a nice loaf of gluten free sourdough bread - it didn’t rise very much but I think that’s maybe because my starter wasn’t mature enough as I used it on day 7 - if you have some tips on how to maintain and look after sourdough starter once it’s in the fridge that would be great! Thank you! 😍
pull out your starter 24 hours before you plan on using it & feed it! then put it in a warm place
Farmhouse on Boone thank you!
This is wonderful, thank you!
Make sure that the GF flour blend that you use for making GF bread has xanthan gum in it! The xanthan gum will help give structure to the bread, since the GF flours contain no gluten that wheat flours contain!
If the flour blend you use does not have xanthan gum in it, you can buy this ingredient to add to your flour blends!
Sprout buckwheat groats. Blend to a mash. Sit overnight , and don’t blow up the jar😄. Add other flours to feed.
Ty for the amazing explanation!
You’re welcome☺️
Yay! Needed this!
Hi Lisa, I loved this video, can't wait to make some bread and pancakes. I was wondering when it's finally done maturing, and I want to feed it every day, do I feed once a day, with 1/4 cup of buckwheat flour and 1/4 cup of water?
I'm considering trying this!
I'm not celiac or anything. But I heard that some people who are more sensitive to gluten that regular sourdough can be tolerable. Anyone else hear this?!
Is your buckwheat flour sifted? My buckwheat is waaaaay darker and has a very distinctive taste.
Lori Palczewski I agree, mine was way darker with only buckwheat and the flavor is super earthy and heavier! I had great luck mixing buckwheat with millet and brown rice flours to lighten it up!
when you store the bowl on counter or in fridge what cover is used? do you seal it or just a cloth over? I see the blue lid. great help just started watching
What?! This is so cool that you have a gf version! I've been watching some of your videos and want to do sourdough but we're gf and randomly stumbled across this one. Thank you!!!!
G’day,
Just wondering if you have had any success with this.
How is you trialing buckwheat sourdough going?? 🙂
God bless you & your precious family!
So I am intolerant to wheat not just gluten. Does that mean buckwheat to?
Thank you for the GF starter. I have white & dark rice flour. How do you use the discard in pancakes? I would definitely try the pancakes while the starter is doing it’s thing 👍🤗😘♥️🙋♀️🇨🇦♥️

Many Thanks🌹
Lisa I love your video's, a quick question have you ever tried to do a sourdough starter with Flax flour? My hubby is a diabetic and i need a flour to bake bread etc for him with.
I haven't. I have regular starter, a potato flake starter and a gluten free starter on my blog FarmhouseonBoone.
Wow thanks for the detailed explanation. Which do you prefer? Wheat or gluten free which one is better. Am planning on starting a sourdough starter but now am not sure if I should go with the gluten free or whole wheat.
i really do like both! no one in our family has gluten allergies, so I'll probably just stick w my normal starter. but the gluten free really is a good option
I’ve had great results with brown rice and white rice flour. I’ve used the all in one or all purpose gluten free in several brands and those never turned out right. They spoiled and wouldn’t turn into a starter. Just a bit more info.
To increase your amount of starter when its established, do you just leave it out and keep feeding it equal amounts? Also should it be pancake batter consistency? Mine is looking thick
Can I use your whole wheat sourdough bread recipe with regular all purpose flour? I can’t find whole wheat flour these days and am even lucky to find the white. If I can’t substitute, what modifications should I make? That would be a great video! I’ve attenoted several sourdough bread recipes and none of them are very good...dense, too sour, too flat, too time-consuming. Yours sounds great but I just can’t find whole wheat flour.
