The GF Sourdough Lab course & community is for everyone who feels overwhelmed by the process and wants gluten-free sourdough baking support.
The Gluten-Free Sourdough Lab offers step-by-step guidance (including recipes, instructional videos, tools & ingredient lists), support (answering questions, holding space while you experiment etc.), and a sacred space for conversation and connection with fellow sourdough enthusiasts.
Say goodbye to feeling alone in your baking journey - this community is here to help you every step of the way, from troubleshooting to sharing tips and tricks for the perfect loaf and so much more!
The Gluten-free Sourdough Lab was born from my longing for great gluten-free sourdough bread reminiscent of an artisanal European country boule. Watch the video below to learn more.
The Gluten-free Sourdough Lab is a community, a course, and a virtual test kitchen where we come together to infuse the ancient wisdom and tradition of gluten-free sourdough baking into bread, cakes, cookies, and even pizza!
How would it feel to have your family gathered around your kitchen counter, counting the minutes before you can cut into the most beautiful loaf of gluten-free sourdough bread that YOU made?
Maybe you’ve been there before and cut into the loaf and all you hear is “whomp, whomp” in your mind because it’s over-proofed, undercooked, or sticky.
Been there. Believe me.
Join a course & community that supports you on your unique gluten-free sourdough journey. In the GF Sourdough Lab, we are all here to support you and your bio-individual needs.
Find camaraderie and encouragement in your baking endeavors. We all gather, chat, and learn within our own custom learning platform.
Engage in deep, meaningful discussions about the sacredness of sourdough as well as the practice of mindfully living, eating, and thriving as close to the vine as possible.
Think cooking class meets urban homesteading with some magic beans sprinkled in from my German heritage .
Become confident about baking with gluten-free sourdough… AND… learn to adjust and experiment! Some people have additional allergies or ingredient limitations and need to make substitutions.
We will hold the space for you to play in your own kitchen and help you troubleshoot so you can confidently achieve your desired results.

ABout Me
I am Waltraud. I know what it feels like to miss really good, gluten-free sourdough bread. I kept thinking “What if I could recreate the delicious sourdough bread of my childhood in Germany?”
But there was no support other than my prior sourdough baking skills and my research scientist mind to figure it out.
Instinctively I knew - there had to be a way!
I started to experiment, develop, and create a plethora of delicious recipes based on the traditional recipes of my family. Over time more eager bakers wanted to learn the art and science of gluten-free sourdough baking.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a safe space to learn from others who have gone before you? We desperately craved a community to share with others all that I learned.
Out of this longing, the gluten-free sourdough baking membership!
“There are lots of free (or even paid) groups out there making GF sourdough, but having an experienced and knowledgeable guide who I could communicate with throughout the process was so helpful. And being able to ask questions and troubleshoot along the way is invaluable. Plus, I really enjoyed making all the different recipes you shared. This has been an amazing journey. Thank you, Waltraud.” ~Melaina M.
"You can actually taste and more importantly FEEL the love that Waltraud sprinkles into her cooking and baking. She is a true alchemist… taking regular, everyday ingredients and turning them into some of the most delicious gold you’ve ever tasted!" ~ Heidi S., The Healthy Godmother
