This bread is chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and makes a great loaf to pull apart and serve at the table with butter.

$8.99
Not eating gluten? No problem! With the help of our gluten free sourdough starter culture, you can make tangy, fluffy sourdough bread that’s gluten-free.
The GF sourdough starter is an heirloom culture, meaning you'll make endless bread dough all from one starter! Just add water and gluten-free flour.
Sourdough is perfect for beginners, and this gluten free sourdough bread starter is a very forgiving culture and one of the easiest to work with.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1-3/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 cup sorghum flour
- 1 Tbsp. xanthan gum
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup gluten free sourdough starter
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 jumbo egg, beaten
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Whisk tapioca starch, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in sourdough starter, milk, honey, oil, and beaten egg. Beat the batter together for 7 minutes using a large wooden spoon. Alternatively, you can blend all ingredients in a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment for 5 minutes.
- Generously butter a baking sheet. Divide dough into two parts. Prepare a small bowl of water for moistening your hands as needed in working with the sticky dough. Use your hands to scoop half of dough and form it into a 14-inch log. It should end up 2 to 3 inches wide and a little over 1 inch high. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut diagonal slashes on the log every 1-1/2 inches. Place a damp towel over dough very gently and let rise in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. Dough may or may not rise significantly. There will be a significant rise in the oven, so do not worry.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. When hot, place bread in oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until internal temperature reads at least 190°F.
- Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack after a few minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
