Easiest GF Sourdough Starter
Hi Denise! I think I have both GF sourdough pancakes and waffle recipes in my Facebook group. Are you in the group already? If not search, Gluten-Free Vegan Baking by Fresh is Real on Facebook and request to join. Once in the group, in the search bar type in waffles or pancakes and it should bring up any older posts with recipes. You mentioned that you don’t use oats, what do you typically use to replace eggs in a gluten-free recipe? Or do you consume eggs?

Easiest GF Sourdough Starter
Hi Helen! I’m just seeing your questions now. Not sure what you decided to do but yes, in a pinch you could feed your starter a different gluten-free flour such as white rice flour or sorghum. I would probably choose sorghum first as it too works very well to create a GF sourdough starter.

Hi Sarah! Of course, you can! Other GF flours that work well for GF sourdough starters are sorghum flour, light buckwheat flour (or freshly milled buckwheat groats), millet, GF oat, and grain-free cassava flour. I’ve tried with many other GF flours, such as teff (great for Injera), dark buckwheat, green banana flour, etc., but those flours tend to require more attention to maintain.

7-Inch Sourdough Boule (GF/V)
What did you decide to try? Yes, in a pinch place the dough overnight in the fridge, no problem. When you take it out, you can leave it at room temperature for an hour or two or bake it if your oven is already hot.

Hi! Was that the first time you used your GF sourdough starter? If you got about an inch of rise, that’s pretty good. Did you sub or change any of the ingredients? GF sourdough won’t rise as much as regular bread when baking. Did you use a Dutch oven to help trap the initial steam or did you bake the dough in a bread pan?

Hi Debbie! You can for sure sub the tapioca with arrowroot starch or even more potato starch if that is better for you. Replace it by weight.

How to Make Grain-Free Bread
Hi Rose! The reason for the overnight rest is to help the ingredients breakdown to make the bread easier to digest. You can make the recipe without this step. You can bake the dough in a regular bread pan, if that’s all that you have. I miss this bread, I’ll try and bake one tomorrow without the overnight rest and I’ll bake it in a bread pan and report back. It should be fine if you try it before me. If you have a bread pan with lid, you could cover the dough for half the baking time.

Hi Ann! I think using sorghum flour instead of oat flour for 1/2 cup should be fine. Alternatively, almond flour would work too if you’re not allergic to nuts.
