Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, eggs, and warm water, whisking until well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a dough.
Fold in the grain-free sourdough starter until the dough is well combined and smooth.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for about 1 hour to help it rise slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
