Ingredients
  

  • 100 g active gluten-free sourdough starter
  • 200 g brown rice flour or sorghum flour
  • 100 g buckwheat flour or millet flour
  • 100 g tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
  • 15 g psyllium husk powder
  • 350 g warm filtered water 80°F/27°C
  • 20 g honey or maple syrup for vegan
  • 20 g olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 8 g sea salt
  • 10 g apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Feed the starter: 4-6 hours before baking, feed your gluten-free sourdough starter until bubbly and doubled.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, and psyllium husk powder.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix warm water, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and active starter.
  4. Form dough: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Add salt and mix for 1 minute.
  5. First proof: Cover and proof for 8-12 hours at room temperature (68-75°F/20-24°C) until slightly airy.
  6. Shape dough: On a floured parchment, shape into a round loaf, tucking edges underneath.
  7. Second proof: Place in a floured proofing basket and proof for 2-4 hours until slightly puffy.
  8. Preheat oven: Heat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside for 45 minutes.
  9. Bake: Transfer dough to a hot Dutch oven, score the top, and bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes until golden.
  10. Cool: Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in a linen bag for 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Substitutions: Use quinoa flour for extra protein or agave for vegan diets.
  • Tip: Ensure your starter doubles within 6 hours for the best rise.
  • Variation: Add rosemary or garlic powder for a savory twist.
