Why We Use Just Two Types of Starter Combinations
Sinless Sourdough Starter Types
In the Sinless Sourdough recipe series, we use only 2 types of starters across our three collections:
- Fiber Flora Series: Uses a starter made with oat fiber + vital wheat gluten
- Lifestyle Lina and Discard Diva Series: Both use a starter made with almond flour + coconut flour
For Adventurous Bakers
If you’re a baking explorer, you might want to purchase an additional Sinless Sourdough low carb dehydrated starter and experiment with other low carb ingredient combinations on your own.
