Bicarbonate of Soda GLUTEN-FREE (per 200g)

Doves Farm Gluten-Free Bicarbonate of Soda is a handy everyday ingredient for bakers and refill shoppers who want one product with more than one job. This gluten-free baking soda is suitable for home baking and a lower-waste cupboard routine.

Why it works in gluten-free bakes

As a raising agent, gluten free bicarbonate helps create lift when a recipe includes an acidic ingredient such as lemon, yoghurt, buttermilk, vinegar, or cocoa. It is a practical choice for cakes, muffins, pancakes, and scones, especially when you want dependable GF baking ingredients in the pantry.

Best practice: follow the recipe carefully, as the amount needed can vary depending on the flour blend and the ingredients in the mix.

Baking situations where it is especially useful

• Soft sponge cakes: supports a lighter texture
• Muffins and traybakes: easy to add to everyday recipes
• Quick breads: works well with fruit, dairy, or citrus
• Small-batch baking: a reliable store-cupboard staple for occasional use

Bicarbonate of soda vs baking powder

If you are comparing ingredients, it helps to know that bicarbonate of soda needs an acid to activate its rise, while baking powder already includes an acid and a starch. That makes this gluten-free baking soda ideal when your recipe is designed for it, but not a direct swap in every bake.

For best results, use it in recipes that specify bicarbonate of soda, or where you know there is enough acidity to trigger the reaction.

Storage advice

Keep this gluten free bicarbonate in a dry, sealed container and store it away from damp or strong odours. Good storage helps maintain quality for both baking and household use.

Allergen information

This product does not contain a listed allergen as an ingredient. Always check the allergen statement before use, especially if you are shopping for GF baking ingredients with specific dietary needs.

Allergen Statement: Where a product is listed as not containing a specific allergen, this means it is not formulated with that ingredient or wholly derived from it. Allergen controls are used throughout the supply chain to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed. 

Keep in a cool, dry place within an airtight container to preserve freshness and flavour.

As a bulk foods store, despite going above and beyond our Five-Star Food Hygiene, the presence of allergens is inevitable.

Sacks of food products containing allergens are opened and closed on a daily basis as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers.

We use separate scoops for each product and store each product separately in their own containers or original sacks.

However, the products containing allergens are not stored, or packed, in a self-contained area.

This means that all products may contain traces of other allergens due to cross-contamination.

If you suffer from a food allergy, especially a severe allergy, we would recommend that you do not shop with us.
