Here it is: the much anticipated gluten free sourdough bread recipe! I understand it probably feels like I’m being a giant tease, but it’s been so hard to contain my excitement, that I’ve just had to share!

I’ve baked experiment after experiment, tweaking it here and there to account for lots of variables. I urge you to hang in there and read through my entire post, as I outline what has worked best and what has not worked best for me. There are definitely some tricks of the trade. Gluten Free Sourdough Basics For those who love and miss sourdough, take heart! The art of making sourdough isn’t lost without the gluten.

There’s still a lot of feeding, caring and waiting for the starter to mature and bloom into all its potential. I just couldn’t throw any away when I’ve tended to it for so long!

There is a new Platinum Sourdough Yeast out from Red Star which is made with both rye and wheat. DO NOT USE THIS YEAST to create your gluten free starter! You’ll need to be sure you have a non-reactive container to store your starter in: glass, glazed pottery, stainless steel, or food-grade plastic will work. Make sure the container is large enough to hold your starter for the duration — it will grow! I found that transferring my starter to a bowl to mix in more gluten free flour and water and then transferring it back to jars worked for me, but you may find another method that you prefer.
