Gluten Free Sourdough Bread
I never know where the tanginess in the sourdough bread came from. It just never crossed my mind. I thought it's just one of a characteristic of sourdough bread that's why it's called "sour"dough.😀
I became more serious in gluten free diet a couple of months ago. Ever since I have been searching for different type of gluten free bread. Something that I could actually enjoy. Recently I happened to come across a video on YouTube showing a gluten free bread without using yeast. But instead using some sourdough starter. What ?!
That video was like an eye opener to a different type of bread that I never thought of before. And even better sourdough is supposed to be easier for our digestion. Because the fermentation process yield bacteria that helps predigest the carbs so it's easier for our guts later on.
There are so many blogs and also videos talking about how to start your own sourdough starter. But looking at the amount of materials involved I was a bit worry about doing it. Not until I found another article by Chantal of Fresh Is Real. See the posting here about starting a smaller portion sourdough starter.
Check out her posting and give it a try. It's not as scary as it sounds. And 7-8 days commitment is so worth it ! I finally made my first (gluten free) sourdough bread and it will be easily my go to recipe from now on.
Below recipe was inspired by another video on YouTube. I liked the combination of flour used so I decided to use it though I made by bread using a loaf pan instead of in a dutch oven (I don't have one !)
