Gluten free wheat starch (1kg & 5kg)

The specialist starch for better gluten free bread.

Gluten free wheat starch is a highly refined wheat starch from which the gluten proteins have been removed to a level of less than 20ppm. It gives gluten free bakers access to a starch with some of the distinctive baking characteristics of wheat, making it particularly valuable in bread and pizza formulations.

Unlike wholegrain wheat flour, gluten free wheat starch contains virtually none of the protein responsible for gluten formation. Instead, its strength lies in the behaviour of the starch itself — helping to create structure, stability and a more cohesive crumb during baking.

It is particularly useful when formulating gluten free bread, pizza and enriched doughs, where it can help produce dough that is easier to handle and a finished product with a more even, bread like crumb.

It can also be combined with other gluten free flours and starches to create bespoke blends, allowing you to balance structure, softness, elasticity and texture.

Why use gluten free wheat starch?

• Less than 20ppm gluten
• Helps improve crumb structure and stability
• Contributes to a more even, cohesive crumb
• Excellent for high hydration gluten free doughs
• Particularly effective in bread and pizza formulations
• Works alongside psyllium, HPMC and other hydrocolloids to build gluten free dough structure

Particularly useful for

Gluten free bread · Pizza · Rolls · Enriched doughs · Pastry · Cakes · Bespoke flour blends

Gluten free does not mean wheat free!

Our gluten free wheat starch is made from wheat, but the gluten proteins have been removed to below 20ppm. It is therefore suitable for gluten free diets when correctly labelled, but it is NOT suitable for people with a wheat allergy or those following a wheat free diet.

What is it?

The wheat grain is processed to separate the starch from the protein rich components. The starch is then washed to remove the gluten proteins, producing a fine, neutral starch that can be used in gluten free food production.
