After many fails and some half triumphs, I made the perfect gluten free sour dough bread. It takes practice and trial and error but I hope this recipe helps save you from uber dense or rock solid bread fails.
I use Schar Mix B Gluten free flour for this.
Gluten Free Sourdough
Ingredients
- 400 g Schar Mix B
- 1/3 cup sour dough starter
- 30 g olive oil
- 400 ml lukewarm water
Instructions
- To make the dough: mix the starter with 400ml lukewarm water, let sit for a few minutes.
- Add in flour slowly, once combined- add in the olive oil.
- Let sit to rise for at least 2 hours and as long as over night. The dough should be quite wet and stick to your fingers when you touch it.
- Once the dough has risen, pour flour on a flat clean surface and dump the dough onto the flour.
- Sprinkle more flour on top and knead for 5 minutes.
- Once kneaded, the dough should be shapeable os shape it into a smooth ball and place on your cooking tray or in your bread pan to rise again. This rise should be about 1 hour.
- While it is rising, preheat the oven.
- Place a glass bowl filled 2/3 of the way with water onto the bottom of your over- this will create steam and help make a chewy crust to the bread.
- Bake the bread on 200 c for around 45 minutes- you can turn up the heat at the end to add an nice crisp to the top!
