Comment on Buckwheat Sourdough Loaf Gluten-Free Vegan by Chantal.
Hi Tamara! Yes, for any seeds, you can use a coffee grinder, small blender, dry container Vitamix or grain mill to transform them into a flour. Same with nuts, if you are not allergic. For the buckwheat loaf, you can replace the oat flour with sorghum flour, increase the light buckwheat flour or try millet flour if you can’t consume oat flour. As for the cup measurements, I’m happy that you prefer it 😉 As for the consistency of this dough. You need to include enough water to let you mix in all the dry ingredients without it being too wet and thin. If you’re not sure, start with some water, mix and wait a few minutes. Then add a bit more if your dough seems way too stiff. If, for whatever reason, you add too much water, don’t worry, you can always bake the mixture in a bread pan. But you’re right; the dough needs to be able to hold its shape well enough to rise in a banneton basket or bowl. To help you, use a basket with a fabric liner or a soup bowl lined with a clean tea/dish towel. Dust a little flour before you place the dough into it. Doing so will make it easier for you to flip it over onto a piece of parchment paper once it’s ready to bake (approx. 2 to 5 hours of rising time). I help these tips will help you!

Hi Sara! Is your buckwheat flour darker? It could be why. If you can find light-coloured buckwheat flour, you might like it better. I often grind/mill organic raw buckwheat groats for a light buckwheat flour. It’s great! For a lighter loaf, you can check out the 7-Inch Boule recipe (https://www.freshisreal.com/7-inch-sourdough-boule-gf-v/), it includes more starch, so it’s less dense. You might like it!

I now have a few more GF sourdough bread recipes that include a little more starch to soften and lighten the texture.

Hi Susanna! You can sub the oat flour for another light flour such as millet, sorghum, more light buckwheat, maybe teff flour or even almond meal/flour if you’re not allergic. I hope this helps!

Maple Cream Bars
Hi Joanne! I don’t see why not. If you like walnuts, go for it! Pecans, hazelnuts, or sliced almonds would be equally tasty if you can consume any type of nuts. Ps. I froze some of the bars the last time I made a batch, and they are SO good to enjoy as a nice treat once in a while when the craving hits me. Especially if you can’t have traditional pecan bars/pie or butter tarts with gluten, sugar, eggs, dairy, etc., these maple bars are such a nice treat! If you do freeze some of the leftover bars, it’s best to thaw a little bit before eating or place the piece on a plate in the microwave for a few seconds.

Hi! Thank you for trying this recipe! I am not an expert at deep frying but from my experience the oil has to be hot enough or the donuts will absorb too much oil and result in greasy and soggy donuts. Ideally 350-375°F. The temperature will drop a bit once the dough is cooking. Are you cooking on a gas or electric stove? Did you use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the oil? I mean if yours were getting too dark too fast, lower the temperature even more next time to see if it’s better.
Gluten-Free Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Hi! I haven’t made these in a while. I do have organic coconut milk (can) and could try a version without brown rice flour. Which GF flour is in your gluten-free starter? Tell me, when you bake grain-free, which ingredients can you consume? Do you eat buckwheat (pseudograin)? What about cassava flour, coconut flour, tiger nut flour, etc.? What about starches? Are you okay with potato starch and tapioca starch? Let me know so we can create a new version for you. What about sugar? Are you okay with coconut sugar or maple syrup?
