Description

This gluten free sourdough starter is made with just two ingredients: gluten free flour and water. It takes about a week of daily feeding to become active and bubbly, and once it's ready, you can use it in gluten free sourdough bread, pizza crust, and more.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup Gluten Free Flour
  • 1/3 cup Hot Water (not too hot to burn, but also warmer than room temperature)

Instructions

Day 1: Combine the flour and hot water in a one quart jar. Stir well, then loosely cover with a lid or a coffee filter secured with a rubber band. Place the jar in a warm spot, ideally 70 to 74 degrees.

Days 2 through 6: At the same time each day, discard half of the starter, then feed the remaining starter with another 1/3 cup gluten free flour and 1/3 cup hot water.

Day 7: Instead of discarding, save the discard in a separate container and place it in the fridge. Feed the starter in the jar as usual (1/3 cup gluten free flour and 1/3 cup hot water).

Day 8: Add the day 7 discard to the container already in the fridge. Feed the jar of starter on the counter another 1/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup hot water.

Ongoing: Once established, keep your starter on the counter and feed it every day to bake regularly, or store it in the fridge and feed it once a week to keep it alive.
