Comment on Wild Yeast Bread (GF/V) by Chantal.
Hi Ruth! Thank you for your message! I bet you that your loaf turned out just perfect! Also, to answer your question about drying some starter for future use, it’s definitely possible. Some smudge a very thin layer on a sheet of parchment paper or even dehydrate it in a low-temperature oven. To store the dry starter pieces, you could probably keep them in the freezer or fridge in a sealed bag or container. Then once you want to get a new starter going simply combine a few pieces of your dry starter with some fresh flour and water, stir and give it some time to get active. It should work!

Thank you, Jennifer, for your feedback and rating! Next you’ll have to try the smaller 7-inch Boule recipe to compare which one you like best! https://www.freshisreal.com/7-inch-sourdough-boule-gf-v/

Hi Amanda! You can replace the sorghum flour with more light buckwheat flour and some GF oat flour (if you can consume it). Other alternatives are teff flour, more brown rice flour, almond or sunflower seed flour, or even millet flour. Ideally, replace it with another GF that is lighter in texture or sub with a combo of 2 to 3 other GF flours. There’s also quinoa, coconut or chickpea to consider, but I would only add a smaller quantity of either as they can be denser. Would you consider trying a smaller recipe to start? Link to smaller 7-in Boule: https://www.freshisreal.com/7-inch-sourdough-boule-gf-v/ I made a version of this sourdough bread recipe a couple of days ago, and I switched up the GF flours and even baked it in my bread machine, and it turned out beautifully. Please note that whatever changes you make, you may need to adjust the liquids. Some ingredients are more absorbent. Replace ingredients in grams for best results. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, Robyn! I love hearing stories like yours! I’m guessing that Kefir would be similar to using creamy buttermilk in a bread recipe? Thank you for sharing!

Nutritious Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Quick Bread (Oil-Free)
Hi Ann! Did you use a preheated Dutch oven to bake the bread? With this recipe, ensuring your oven is preheated as well as a large Dutch oven really helps with the moisture.The smaller grated zucchini is fine. Did you use whole psyllium husk? Was your yogurt very thin?
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi Megan! This is a reply that I shared with another baker with the same question.
I did test the recipe with buckwheat flour, but the results weren’t as great but comparable. I’ve been looking for my notes as I tested this variation before the holidays. The idea would be to use 175g of light buckwheat flour to replace the 175g of buckwheat groats with enough water to moisten the mixture. You’ll need at least one cup of water, possibly a bit more. I would still use a blender to help blend/purée all the ingredients into a smooth batter-like dough. If you try it before I find my notes or try it again, please share your results with us.

Hi Lisa! With the cassava flour sourdough starter did you change any other ingredients in the bread recipe? It’s possible that using a grain-free starter such as cassava starter could have contribute to a dough texture with more moisture. Did you try again after this attempt? I realize you posted your comment a few months ago but I’m just seeing it now.
How To Make Maple Cream
An option would be to boil the pure maple syrup to a little less that 234°F (maybe 233°F) next time and it should be thinner after it’s been hand stirred. If your maple cream is thick but still mixable in the jar you could add a touch of maple syrup and mix it in to make it thinner. Just note that I’ve never tried doing so.
Maple Hemp Brownies
Hi Denise! You can replace with 60g of almond meal/flour (if you’re not allergic to nuts), increase the sorghum flour by 60g or replace with 60g of brown rice flour. I’ve listed the options in the order that I feel will work best 😉 Chantal
