1 pinch cream of tartar
1 pinch baking soda
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup gluten-free sourdough starter
1 teaspoon agave nectar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Place raisins into a bowl and cover with lukewarm water. Set aside to soak.
2 Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Whisk gluten-free bread flour, buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and baking soda together in a bowl.

5 Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake bread for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until bread is browned and has reached an internal temperature of 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), about 10 minutes more.
6 Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn bread out from pan onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
