How to Make Gluten-Free Sourdough

“This loaf was yummy. It was just a touch gummy compared to regular sourdough so I preferred it toasted.”

This recipe can be used with just a simple score down the middle, or more detailed scoring for added style. Gluten-free sourdough does not require any stretch and folds since there is no gluten in the dough that we need to develop. Therefore, the steps are much simpler and you don't have to be home to tend to it. The dough feels a bit more like clay than regular dough. It is much easier to score than regular sourdough and it doesn't deflate when scoring. Oven spring is less, so your scored designs won't crack either. All in all, making gluten-free sourdough is easier than making regular sourdough.

NOTE
The inside of gluten-free bread is often gummy, so it will need to be toasted before eating.
