In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and maple syrup. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, tapioca starch, oat flour, psyllium husk powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Fold in the sunflower seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Transfer the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the extra sunflower seeds on top of the dough for added crunch and decoration.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to proof in a warm place for 4-6 hours, or until it has risen by about 50%.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F). Once the dough is proofed, place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the bread as is, or toast it for extra flavor and texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
