Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Gluten-free sourdough starter
- 200 grams Gluten-free wholemeal flour (e.g., buckwheat or teff)
- 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 7 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, warm water, and olive oil. Stir well to mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free wholemeal flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring constantly until the dough comes together. It will be sticky and thick.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until it has risen slightly and appears bubbly. For a more tangy flavor, you can refrigerate it for an additional 12 hours.
Once the dough has rested, lightly oil a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, smoothing out the surface with the back of a spoon or your hands.
Cover the pan loosely and let the dough proof for another 1-2 hours at room temperature, or until it rises slightly. Do not expect a dramatic rise, as gluten-free dough behaves differently from traditional wheat dough.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place a small oven-safe dish with water on the bottom rack to create steam, which helps with crust formation.
Bake the bread on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Cutting it too soon may result in a gummy texture.
Serve the bread fresh or toasted with your favorite gluten-free spreads or toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage.
