Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.
Fold in the sunflower seeds, reserving a tablespoon to sprinkle on top of the loaf if desired.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, apple cider vinegar, eggs, warm water, and melted coconut oil until smooth and combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Shape the dough into a loaf and transfer it to the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula and sprinkle the reserved sunflower seeds over the top.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Slice and serve. This bread pairs well with fresh avocado, soft cheeses, or your favorite low-carb spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
