Sekowa Mais Spezial Backferment, Glutenfrei is the gluten-free version of the famous German bread-proofing product or ferment containing natural yeasts and enzymes from organic corn and pea flour and honey, and contains no commercial fast-acting yeasts. Based on the standard Sekowa Spezial Backferment, this version contains no wheat to produce a product suitable for those wishing to avoid wheat gluten.
It is used around the word and in Germany and Denmark in particular, to make a starter to add to a bread recipe, and some use it as a direct dried-yeast alternative (see our help pages for information on using the Sekowa Backferment). The resulting bread has a good crust and open, soft and long-lasting crumb like a sourdough bread but with a milder flavour.
