Gluten Free Sourdough Bread, Quirky Cooking

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at gluten free sourdough bread for years, and during lockdown I was finally home enough to experiment with it! I’ve always been a bit hopeless with anything that needs constant feeding and looking after (other than my kids and pets!)… I tend to get busy or go away for a week and you can guess what happens. 🙈 So I took lockdown and the resulting “slow down” as a sign that I should learn how to make sourdough (as many others did)! I began by making a gluten free starter based on this recipe by Vanilla And Bean (tweaked to use what I had and measurements altered for us Aussies.) Despite a few mistakes which you may notice in my video (eg. changing the flour when I ran out of buckwheat and leaving it to sit for too long so it got all “hoochy”), somehow it WORKED!! The magical wild yeast visited my starter and it grew and bubbled, making me very happy. 😃 


Gluten free sourdough starter video, Quirky Cooking

Watch the video: how to make the starter (watch on Instagram or Facebook)

The ingredients you’ll need to make the starter are:
     – hulled buckwheat flour (2 Tbsp/day)
     – sweet rice flour (2 Tbsp/day)
     – filtered, room temp water (1/3 cup/day)
That’s it! (Oh, plus lots of patience! ha ha)

As I mention in the video, I milled my own grains and used Arborio or sushi rice for the sweet rice flour – it’s usually made with glutinous (sticky) rice, but I couldn’t get that for love nor money during the lockdown, and still haven’t found any since shelves have been restocked… but the substitutes worked fine, just so you know.

(These are Australian (metric) measurements using a 20ml Tbsp – if using Imperial measurements the Tbsp is 15ml so you’d use 1/4 cup water.)

Basic Method for Starter is below – see this recipe for detailed instructions.

Gluten Free Sourdough Starter

Print Recipe

Ingredients

hulled buckwheat flour

sweet rice flour

filtered water

Instructions

Day 1: Whisk together in glass jar or bowl – 2 Tbsp buckwheat flour, 2 Tbsp sweet rice flour, and 1/3 cup water. Cover with a wet cloth, leave to rest 24 hours at room temp.

Day 2: Whisk together in glass jar or bowl – 2 Tbsp of yesterday’s mixture (the starter), 2 Tbsp buckwheat flour, 2 Tbsp sweet rice flour, 1/3 cup water. Cover with a wet cloth, leave to rest 24 hours at room temp. (Save remaining starter in a jar in the fridge – this is called the ‘discard’ and can be added to during the week, then used in baking pancakes, muffins, crackers, etc – search ‘sourdough discard recipes’ for ideas.)

Day 3 through Day 6, 7 or beyond: Repeat above each day until the mixture becomes bubbly under the surface, has air pockets, and a sweet-sour smell. It took 7 days for me, but it can take longer. Use visual cues for readiness – watch my video if you’re not sure.

Before using starter to make bread, you will need to ‘refresh’ or ‘feed’ it: In clean, lidded, glass jar, place 1/4 cup starter, 1/2 cup water, 3 Tbsp buckwheat flour and 3 Tbsp sweet rice flour, and mix until combined. (Place discard in the fridge to use in other baking.) Place lid on jar, and a rubber band around the jar to indicate level of starter before rising, so you can see when it has doubled. (See example in video.) Allow starter to develop for 8-12 hours at room temp, until doubled in size. The time it takes depends on temperature in room. (If starter is taking too long to double, place it in a warm spot like in the oven, temp off with oven light on.)

Once your starter has doubled in size, is bubbly, and has a sweet-sour aroma, it’s ready to use! After measuring out the portion needed for your recipe, refresh the starter as above and store until ready to use again.

Storage of starter:

Room temp if baking every day: store in glass jar with lid and refresh daily after removing starter needed for recipe

Fridge: store in glass jar with lid, refresh once a week; may need to refresh twice in 12 hours before using in recipes to get it active again

Freezer: store in glass jar with lid, thaw and refresh a few times before using

Have fun, and be patient!!! It can take a couple of weeks for the starter to ‘start’!

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Video, Quirky Cooking

Watch the video: how to make gluten free sourdough bread (watch on Instagram or Facebook)

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread!

Me: “Yay I have a gluten free sourdough starter, I’m going to make my own sourdough bread!” …172 tries later… Ok not that many 😂 but it’s been a lot of trial and error and I may keep tweaking it as I learn more, but I promised to share so here it is!

FYI – there’s a LOT of variables with bread making, and there seem to be even more with sourdough bread making, so if your first go doesn’t work as well as you’d like, make toast and try again! (Thats what I do, anyway.) I find the starter needs to be quite fresh and lively, if it’s too sour smelling and has liquid on top you will need to tip off the liquid (known as ‘hooch’) and keep refreshing it until it’s sweet-sour smelling and bubbly again. If your starter has a pink or orange tint, it has gone bad and will need to be thrown out. But keep it happy and fed, store in refrigerator, use often, and it’ll be fine!

I tweaked my Gluten Free Artisan Bread recipe to make it a sourdough bread (see below), but I’m working on other versions (eg. egg-free) so stay tuned! You’ll also find plenty of other GF sourdough recipes online, so have a play.

If you have any questions or want to share a photo of your sourdough with us, feel free to post in the Quirky Cooking Chat Group!

Have fun! Jo xx

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

200g gluten free sourdough starter (above)

600g lukewarm water

4 large eggs

65g olive oil

30g honey

4 Tbsp psyllium husk powder

300g brown rice flour (buy or mill your own)

300g millet flour (buy or mill your own), or can use sorghum, amaranth, teff, quinoa, gf oat flour, or tigernut flour

300g tapioca starch (or arrowroot)

1 Tbsp fine sea salt/Himalayan salt

sesame seeds (opt, for top of bread)

Instructions

1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together starter, water, eggs, oil and honey until frothy. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together psyllium husk powder, rice flour, millet (or other) flour, tapioca starch, and salt until well combined.

3. Pour the wet mixture into the large mixing bowl with the dry mixture, and combine with a wooden spoon, mixing quickly as it will soon start to thicken. (It won’t be a ‘dough’, more of a thick batter.)

4. Divide the batter between two loaf tins lined with large pieces of baking paper.

5. Sprinkle dough with a little water and mould into domed loaves, smoothing the surface with wet hands. Sprinkle tops of loaves with sesame seeds if desired. Slash tops of loaves with a sharp knife in diagonal lines 2cm apart and 1cm deep (if you like).

6. Fold the baking paper hanging over the sides of the tins over the tops of the loaves, and cover with a doubled over tea towel.

7. Leave bread to rise in a warm spot for 7-9 hours (until bread doesn’t seem to be rising anymore) – it won’t quite double in size. Don’t over-rise or bread will be more sour and heavier than usual.

8. Place a pizza stone on a rack in the centre of the oven, and a heavy, high-sided baking tray on the bottom of oven. Heat oven to 230C fan-forced. (Oven may take about 30-40 mins to really heat up – it needs to be REALLY hot for the bread to ‘bounce up’ and rise properly.)

9. Place bread tins on the hot stone, quickly pour a cup of water into the hot baking tray, close oven door, and cook for 20 mins. Reduce heat to 180C and cook another 30-40 mins, until top of bread is golden brown. Take bread out of tins and knock on the loaves underneath with your knuckles, to check they sound hollow and the crust is crusty! If they need a bit more baking time, leave out of tins and place the loaves directly onto the hot pizza stone for another 10 mins then check again.

10. Cool loaves slightly before slicing.

    Hi Jo
    I started my sour dough starter – got to say 3 and it had a pink film on top of thought it was mild so threw it out and started again. Day 2 of fresh batch is the same.
    I had it on the window sill then on the bench. It’s not warm in my house during the day but at night we have the fire on so house is warm.
    I’m thinking I might need to change every 12hrs instead of 24hrs or keep in the pantry.
    What are your thoughts?

      Hi Hannah, yes it may be a bit warm at night… although if it’s only a faint tinge of pink I have scraped that off (just in case) and continued on before and it’s been fine! But do store it in the pantry, I think that’s a good idea.

    We made a starter with just the buckwheat flour and water. My son was so excited as sour dough was one of his favourites before being diagnosed as having coeliac disease. I will definitely try this recipe next week

    Hi Jo,
    firstly, LOVE your recipes which are a Godsend for people like me with food allergies. I am SO keen to make this bread but am stuck on the sweet rice flour. I have been searching everywhere for it. I’ve also been searching for short grain rice to make the flour. Would you mind elaborating on the flour please? Can we use medium grain rice to make the flour? Is it specifically, only short grain?
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    • Quirky Cooking Team says:

      Hi Cathy. Thank you so much and I am so glad you are enjoying my recipes:-). Sweet rice flour is made from from sushi rice or short grain white rice but yes, you can also use medium grain rice too…It should work just fine:-). Good luck on your sourdough journey:-).

    I followed your recipe to a tea for sourdough bread It turned out like a brick. l have watched your video I don’t know if some has been left out ,as l didn’t hear or see you put the tapioca starch in ,or how much of it you used .And also how much millet flour. In the recipe it ask for 300g of tapioca,millet,brown rice Is this correct Thanks

      Yes, you need to follow the recipe as written, and rising time will depend on the warmth of your room and he strength of your starter. As for the tapioca starch, there is 300g in the recipe. Heres te recipe again for reference, hope this helps! 🙂 https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/2020/06/gluten-free-sourdough-bread-and-starter/

    Hello,
    I started making your sourdough starter and 2 days it was looking awesome, all bubbly and beautiful but started to grow mould on day 3, I was so sad. What can I do to stop that happening again? I want to try again.

    Reply
    • Quirky Cooking Team says:
      1 year ago

      Hi Krystol. Yeah, sourdough starters are a bit fussy like that and sometimes can grow mold. You might want to look for an alternative spot for your starter and make sure your jar is sterilized beforehand – just rinse it with hot boiling water and let it dry. Good luck :-). Fingers crossed it works for you next time.

    Can you use another flour than buckwheat in the starter ?

    Reply
    • Quirky Cooking Team says:
      1 year ago

      Hi Corinne. You should be able to use buckwheat flour to feed your starter but to start of with I would suggested to use both – buckwheat and sweet rice flour. Buckwheat flour is slightly heavier and I am simply not sure whether it would actually work as I have not tested it myself. Good luck.

    Ho Jo, a question about the starter covering- do you let the tea towel dry naturally in the warm room or keep wetting it over the 24hr period? Thanks

      Keep it slightly damp if you can, thats best!

I love the tahini dressing as it makes it so filling and tasty - you could add a good sprinkle of toasted seeds too if you like! Serve on its own for a light meal, or with roast lamb or grilled fish or steak (or whatever you like really 😄) for a bigger meal. Yum!!

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

But baby, I’m back!! 😍 Tune in on Fridays!

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

I’ve put my order in for a coffee table because the Qld maple is so beautiful! (What do you think, Quirky coffee tables next? 😂)

If you’ve never tried pumpkin pie before, you need to!! I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍

I love it when my readers are as excited about my recipes as I am, and want to share them! I only ask that if you do share my recipes on your own blog or on social media, you only share an excerpt or link, not the entire recipe. Full and clear credit must be given to Quirky Cooking with a link back to the original content. If you’d like to share one of my photos, please contact me for permission. Thank you! Jo x
