Description

Start your gluten-free sourdough journey with this easy-to-follow recipe for a homemade sourdough starter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups brown rice flour
  • 3 cups buckwheat flour
  • Filtered water, at room temperature, as needed

Instructions

  1. Mix together the brown rice flour and buckwheat flour in a bowl until well combined.
  2. On Day 1, in a glass jar, whip together 1 cup of the flour mix and 3/4 cup of filtered water until smooth.
  3. Cover the jar with cheesecloth and let it sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  4. Fast forward to Day 2: feed your starter by mixing 1/4 cup of the flour mix with 3 tablespoons of water, and stir well.
  5. By Day 3, check for a sponge-like texture; if spotted, put the starter in the fridge.
  6. By Day 4, your starter should be ready. Feed it every two weeks or when baking.

Notes

If your starter isn’t bubbling as much, place it in a warmer spot. Experiment with different gluten-free flours for variations.
