Best 4 Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE SOURDOUGH RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Place raisins into a bowl and cover with lukewarm water. Set aside to soak.
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Whisk gluten-free bread flour, buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Combine milk, sourdough starter, and agave in the bowl of a stand mixer. Start mixer on low and add flour mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. Drain raisins and fold into the batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth out the top using a wet rubber scraper. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 2 hours. Cover with foil.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake bread for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until bread is browned and has reached an internal temperature of 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), about 10 minutes more.
• Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn bread out from pan onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

GLUTEN-FREE SOURDOUGH SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Line an 8x4x2 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Mix sourdough starter discard, flour, and salt in a stand mixer on low speed. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is combined and comes together. Add only enough water to create a cross between a dough and a thick batter; the amount you need will depend on the types of flours in your mix. Use a rubber scraper to pour the dough into the lined loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
• Put into the cold oven to rise overnight, or for up to 12 hours. Remove loaf from the oven. Mix 1 teaspoon oil and water and sprinkle on top of the risen loaf. Top evenly with sesame seeds.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F (87 degrees C), about 20 minutes more.
• Remove bread from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the loaf pan, peel off the parchment paper, and cool on a cooling rack. Wait until completely cooled before slicing.

GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Levain Instructions
• Feedings described here are the same weight starter, flour, and water; sometimes referred to as a 1:1:1 feeding.
• If your gluten free sourdough starter is already warm, and it doubles within 4 to 8 hours, simply build enough of it through feeding to reach the amount needed for the recipe.
• If your sourdough starter has been refrigerated, plan to feed it at least twice before baking with it. Take your starter jar out of the refrigerator and let it warm up a bit.
• Discard a portion of the starter if you have excess. Your goal is to end up with enough lively starter or "levain" for your dough, plus about 25 grams extra to feed and then refrigerate for the future. Feed the warmed-up starter in your jar and let it expand until it peaks. If it doubles in 4 to 8 hours you can bake with it. Most likely you will have to feed it at least one more time, though, for it to expand that quickly and be lively enough for baking.
• After mixing the dough, keep about 25g starter in your jar and feed it. Leave it out of the refrigerator until it doubles. Then refrigerate the starter until your next bake. If you don't bake for more than a week, refresh your starter. Additional maintenance instructions can be found here.
• Dough Instructions
• Mixing
• When the levain is ready, whisk it together with the water, honey, and psyllium husk in a bowl.
• In a second bowl, combine the flours and salt, then add them to the wet mix. I use a rubber spatula at first when combining wet and dry ingredients, then switch to hand mixing.
• Once the dough comes together with no dry bits, try to shape it into a round as best as you can. Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover it with a damp towel.
• Bulk Ferment
• Let the dough ferment for at least 5 hours on your counter at room temperature. If you have a cool house, you may want to pop the covered bowl into your oven with the light on to keep it slightly warmer.
• Toward the end of the bulk ferment, you may not see a lot of change. The dough will not double, but I find that the texture just becomes a bit lighter and softer.
• Shaping
• After the bulk ferment, I line a bowl with a floured tea towel (floured banneton would work too), gently reshape the dough into a ball and lay it in the bowl.
• Cover the dough with a damp towel (plastic cover is fine too) and let it sit another hour or so at room temperature and then pop it into the refrigerator for an overnight rest.
• Bake
• In the morning, preheat your oven to 475°F for 30-60 minutes with a Dutch oven or similar baking vessel inside the oven.
• When the preheat is complete, remove your dough from the refrigerator, uncover it, and place a piece of parchment over the bowl. Lay your hand on top of the parchment and turn the bowl upside down, so your hand is holding the dough and parchment in place.
• Gently put the dough and parchment on your countertop and score the dough how you'd like. Transfer the parchment and dough into the Dutch oven and cover it.
• Bake for 60 minutes with the lid on. Place a baking sheet directly under the Dutch oven after 30 minutes (on same shelf with contact) to prevent burning of the base of the bread.
• Take the lid off and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Let your loaf cool for a few hours before cutting into it. It's still working inside.

DELICIOUS, RUSTIC, GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Generously grease 9x5 inch bread pan with grapeseed or olive oil.
• 2. In a mixing bowl, add warm milk & honey, and whisk in yeast. Cover and allow to proof for 10-15 minutes. When mixture is nice and bubbly it is ready to use.
• 3. In a small bowl, melt coconut butter, allow to cool, and mix in xanthan gum. Mixture will be pasty. In the meantime, add Bob's Red Mill GF all purpose flour, Bob's Red Mill hazelnut flour, baking soda, & sea salt. Mix thoroughly.
• 4. With a paddle attachment, add flour mixture to proofed yeast, honey, and milk mixture. With speed on low, mix together. Add butter/xanthan gum mixture. Be sure to scrape sides of bowl into the mixture. Add GF Sourdough batter. Turn speed to medium high & mix well for 5 minutes. Again, be sure to scrape sides down into mixture. Mixture will be thick and sticky, much like a brownie mix.
• 5. With rubber spatula,spoon mixture into prepared bread pan, smooth out top with spatula. Cover and place in oven with oven light on. Fill a shallow dish with boiling water and put in bottom of oven. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size, approximately one hour.
• 6. When dough has doubled in size, gently remove from oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place bread in middle of oven, on a baking sheet. Refill shallow baking dish with hot water and place back in bottom of oven. (I use a metal bread pan filled 3/4 way full) Bake for 40-45 minutes. Top will be a nice golden brown. Remove from oven & allow to cool in baking pan 5 minutes. Then remove and allow to finish cooling on wire rack for 30 minutes. NOTE: because our bread baked over the side of the bread pan a bit, I used a butter-knife to loosen bread from pan to remove without tearing.
• 7. This is a nice thick, chewy bread. Tastes much like a Rustic sourdough bread. My daughter likes hers with Tofutti cream cheese and apple butter. Tastes great with real butter as well! It also makes a great sandwich bread!
