Ethiopian Teff Gluten Free Sourdough Starter Culture

from $15.00

Our Teff Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter is a unique and flavorful culture built around one of the world’s oldest grains. Teff, a tiny ancient grain traditionally used in Ethiopian baking, brings a deep, earthy richness and subtle nutty sweetness to gluten-free sourdough baking.

When fermented, this starter develops a lively character and a pleasantly tangy aroma that enhances the natural flavor of teff. The result is baked goods with a distinctive depth, warm color, and a rustic personality that stands apart from typical gluten-free breads.

Teff’s natural complexity makes this starter especially wonderful for flatbreads, rustic loaves, pancakes, crackers, and other gluten-free bakes where flavor truly matters. With proper care and regular feeding, it remains active and dependable, giving gluten-free bakers a traditional sourdough experience without wheat.

Rich in character and deeply rooted in ancient grain traditions, this starter opens the door to flavorful gluten-free fermentation.

Expect:

• Naturally gluten-free sourdough culture

• Deep earthy flavor with subtle nutty sweetness

• Pleasant sourdough tang

• Lively fermentation and reliable activity

• Warm, rustic color in finished bakes

• Excellent for flatbreads, loaves, pancakes, and crackers

Earthy, distinctive, and full of ancient grain character, this teff starter brings bold flavor and traditional fermentation to gluten-free baking.
