What Is Sourdough?

Sourdough is bread made with wild yeast instead of the yeast you can buy at a grocery store. This wild yeast is called a sourdough starter. Normally, sourdough is not gluten-free, so those with celiac or gluten intolerance need to use gluten-free flour to make their sourdough bread. To begin, you will need to make a sourdough starter which is basically flour and water mixed together and maintained for a week or so. To get more details on that, follow my easy sourdough starter recipe.

However, you don't need to limit yourself to making bread with your starter! I have plenty of gluten-free sourdough recipes including pizza, cookies, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and more.

My Secret to the Best Sourdough

There are two. The first one is psyllium husk. If you have never heard of it, go right over to the psyllium husk guide I put together for you. Basically, psyllium husk is the gluten substitute in gluten-free bread which helps make bread elastic, flexible, soft, moist, and kneadable. Xanthan gum is a thing of the past when it comes to bread!

The second one is a 13$ digital scale. Gluten-free sourdough baking is a serious business and we want all our measurements to be on point! A little alteration will change the texture of the bread and potentially make it gummy. So, if you plan on making GF bread consistently, I strongly recommend you get a scale!

GF Sourdough Bread with Brown Rice Flour

Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread on a Cooling Rack.

This is my go-to recipe. I make this bread a few times a week for my husband and we love it! You can play around with different types of flour but I normally make this bread using brown rice flour, millet flour, and a couple of starches.

GF Buckwheat Sourdough Bread

Sliced buckwheat sourdough on a wooden board.

This bread is a little bit darker and has a distinct flavor specific to buckwheat. Buckwheat flour absorbs less liquid than other gluten-free flours so the ratios in this recipe are specifically designed for buckwheat flour loaf.

Sorghum Sourdough Bread

Sorghum flour gluten-free sourdough bread on a wooden board with another loaf showing in the background.

This recipe uses preferment instead of a straight-up sourdough starter and calls for sorghum flour along with brown rice flour to create a wonderful texture and flavor for your loaf!

Mild Country White Sourdough Bread

Sliced gluten-free sourdough bread with an open crumb.

This recipe is a little bit more complicated and requires a bit more work but it helps you get that open crumb everyone is after!

Sourdough Bread with Xanthan Gum

If you are allergic to psyllium husk or can't have it for some other reason, you can try making bread with xanthan gum. This recipe is very simple and straight-forward. Xanthan gum will make for a crumbly bread but it is a good option for those who can't have psyllium husk.
