This is a starter-making recipe that uses a small amount of dry starter from a store-bought gluten-free starter packet, or some dry starter that you have saved/received from someone else. See Baking Tips below for using wet/hydrated starter to get one going.

This is a recipe using a wine-making technique—mashing grapes—to cultivate a vibrant sourdough starter. This starter may take a few days longer than our Brown Rice Sourdough Starter, but we recommend trying it as it makes a strong, delicious starter you can rely on for years.
