Is the sourdough starter free of wheat flours/gluten?

No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated. It can still be rehydrated and grown with gluten-free flours and used to rise gluten-free breads, though, and the amount of gluten in the finished loaf would be miniscule - unless someone with severe celiac was going to eat it, any lighter gluten sensititivity would be fine. If you want a sourdough starter that is 100% gf, there is a good formula for the mix to "catch" yeast and maintain the starter in the book "The Vintage Remedies Guide to Bread" by Jessie Hawkins. Her gf blend uses quinoa, chickpea, and gf oat flour. Highly recommend the book if gf sourdough baking is your goal. No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated.

No. Sourdough starter is kept alive, or "fed", by adding flour every few days. Sorry

The starter package contains yeasts only. When you begin the starter, you will use bread flour to provide sugars for the yeasts to then grow. I would not see a way around using wheat flour for the starter, but it is only a portion of your total recipe. You would be able to minimize, but not eliminate glutens in the final bread product.

It is a dehydrated flour starter, you can make your own starter using the pineapple juice process, visit breadtopia for details.

I have not made gluten free bread. I only know it works great for desserts and cookies!

Well.... :) That's a good question. authentic Italian... I would look into Italian sourdough starter..King Arthur bread flour .. They have a good reputation making flour. I can keep my friends in the kitchen with above-mentioned ingredients.

Don't know, I threw away the package after baking the cookies. It was Gluten free Oatmeal Cookies. I expected the mix to be good because the Bread Mix is the best gluten free bread flour.

Assuming there are no trace amounts of flour in this product, then it should be gluten-free, since gluten is only found in grains like wheat, barley and rye.

I have not tried gluten free, so can't comment on that part. Yes you can press dough into the form, you do not need to use the cutter.

No...not that I know of and I have used bread machines for over 10 years. I always thought gluten was an ingredient in flour and not a physical setting on a machine. You need to use gluten free flour.

It is wheat free but does contain barley and oats that are not certified gluten free so the answer would be no.

No, this product is NOT gluten free. I'm looking at the ingredients on the box, and the first one in the list is wheat flour. It also contains a grain blend of oats, flax, rye, barley, corn, triticale, millet, rice bran and sunflower.

No, it is not ground wheat (flour). This is hard red, unmilled wheat. You would need a grain mill if you wanted to turn it into flour.

Yes, you can make gluten free bread with the CKSTBRTW20. You simply use all of your gluten free ingredients on the "Wheat" setting, and it will come out just fine.

I would not. This starter is already going, so you should only feed it flour and water. I use about a tablespoon of organic rye flour per week and the rest organic white flour. Using sugar and instant potatoes would degrade the integrity of the starter and would eventually turn it into something else entirely. You are probably looking at a recipe for making your own starter instead of feeding a live starter. Breadtopia has an awesome website, and their starter comes with very detailed instructions. I just started making plain old yeast bread a few months ago and decided to try this instead; I've found it is definitely the way to go and worth the bit of extra time and effort! In fact, we just had company over and served sourdough baguettes with dinner and they proclaimed them the best sourdough they'd ever had.

Yes it is gluten free. From Red Stars website; Yes. All of our baker's yeast products are gluten free, and are produced in a dedicated facility. They do not contain wheat gluten or other cereal protein that cause allergic reactions in people with gluten intolerance.

Yeast is inherently gluten free. But I also looked at the Red Star website and this is what they said. "RED STAR®, SAF® and bakipan® Yeast do not contain wheat gluten or other cereal protein that cause allergic reactions in people with gluten intolerance." You should be fine! : )

There are recipes for noodles in the recipe booklet. I prefer to make my pasta dough in my food processor. Haven't tried theirs but I'm sure it would be good. All the bread Ive mad in my machine is wonderful including the gluten free ones!

I'mPretty sure it is gluten free but can't say that 100% positively, cause majority of ingredients are plant based and fruits extracts, tree, leaf extracts... I don't see any wheat, barley, or rye products in it. But I wouldContact the seller directly There really great, and this way your 100% sure especially if your allergic. Best of luck.
