Comment on Buckwheat Sourdough Loaf Gluten-Free Vegan by Chantal.
Hi Synthia! The buckwheat sourdough bread recipe includes 14g of whole psyllium husk. You could increase it to 20g if you want to try. If using powder, weighing 20g is perfect. If measuring, for this smaller loaf, 2 tablespoons of powder should be enough. If using whole psyllium husk, you could consider increasing the amount to about 3 tablespoons. If you want to add some flaxseed meal, a few tablespoons (2 to 3) should be fine. You might have to add a touch more water. The arrowroot helps to lighten the loaf and does improve the structure as well. Are you trying to make a loaf without added starch? It seems that most GF loaves with psyllium (and no junky ingredients) will most likely always feel a little sticky to the touch. Remember to wait a while before slicing your loaves. Some bake their sourdough for longer (sometimes reducing the heat for the last part of baking) to help dry out the crumb a little more. Adding too much water will make the bread more sticky, it’s a matter of playing around with the ingredients you have, the liquids you add, in your baking environment until you create bread that works for 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?
