Serves 12

Ingredients

Sourdough starter
1 cup, active and bubbly
Warm water
1 cup (110°f/43°c)
Honey
1 tablespoon
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Gluten-free flour blend
2 cups
Xanthan gum
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, honey, and olive oil. Mix well until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring vigorously until a sticky dough forms. The dough will be thicker than traditional sourdough but should be cohesive.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free area to rise for 2-3 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Once the dough has risen, gently shape it into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet. You can also shape it into rolls if desired.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This cooling step is crucial to achieve the best texture.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs or spices, such as rosemary or garlic powder, into the dough.
  • 💡 Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • 💡 This bread pairs wonderfully with soups and salads or can be enjoyed with avocado, nut butter, or your favorite spreads.
