Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup active gluten-free sourdough starter
• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1/4 cup flaxseed meal (for added structure)
• 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (as a binder)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter with the warm water and honey or maple syrup.
2. Add the gluten-free flour blend, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the dough and fold it in until incorporated.
4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the sourdough to ferment and the dough to double in size.
5. After the fermentation period, stir the dough gently to deflate it.
6. Transfer the dough to a greased or parchment-lined bread tin. Use wet hands or a spatula to smooth out the top and shape the dough.
7. Cover the tin and let the dough rise for another 1 to 2 hours until it has visibly expanded.
8. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
9. Once the dough has risen, place it in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

This recipe should give you a tasty loaf of gluten-free sourdough bread with a similar texture and flavor to traditional sourdough.
