Gluten Free Sourdough Bread

Ingredients

  • 150 g active sourdough starter
  • 100 g room temperature filtered water
  • 80 g Arnel’s All Purpose Flour
  • 20 g psyllium husk
  • 20 g honey
  • 20 g olive or avocado oil
  • 350 g room temp filtered water
  • 2 ice cubes (for baking)
  • 300 g Arnel’s All Purpose Flour
  • 8 g baking powder
  • 15 g apple cider vinegar
  • White rice flour (for dusting banneton basket)

Directions

  1. Levain: Mix levain ingredients in a jar. Cover loosely and ferment in a warm spot for 12–24 hours until bubbly and nearly doubled.
  2. Mix Wet: Whisk psyllium husk and water in a large bowl and let thicken. Stir in honey, oil, and the prepared levain.
  3. Mix Dry: Add all dry ingredients. Knead for 5–10 minutes (dough will be sticky).
  4. Shape: Transfer to a floured banneton or oiled bowl. Smooth the top with wet hands or a wet spatula.
  5. Proof: Cover loosely with a towel. Proof in a warm spot for 4–6 hours (or cold proof in the fridge for 6–18 hours) until visibly puffy with a domed top.
  6. Prep to Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F with a Dutch oven inside. Transfer dough to parchment paper and score the top. Place in the hot Dutch oven with 2 ice cubes under the parchment.
  7. Bake: Bake for 25 mins with the lid ON, then 25 mins with the lid OFF (internal temp should reach 205°F).
  8. Cool: Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
