It was four year ago when I first started with my sourdough baking journey. I decided to give up commercial yeast, since I felt tired all the time (especially after eating bread and other foods made with yeast), I wasn’t motivated to do anything, had trouble concentrating throughout the day and my abdomen was bloated. Properly prepared sourdough bread make a huge difference for me. I can now enjoy bread without burdening my body.
At that time my boyfriend was already on the gluten-free diet, so he couldn’t enjoy my freshly baked sourdough breads with crunchy crust, soft and moist crumb, and irresistible smell. I was a big bread lover and just thinking about having to stop eating bread was quite a challenge.
For him, challenge was to find a decent gluten-free substitute for bread. We looked closely to commercially available gluten-free breads and flours, but they all contained something that we could not or would not want to eat: soy proteins, artificial vitamins, xanthan gum, guar gums, eggs from unknown sources, large amounts of high-starch flours, sugars and other artificial sweeteners, commercial yeast, artificial fruit juices etc.
We knew and felt that none of these ingredients would really nourish our bodies and mind on the long run.
One day, I challenged both of us who would make decent gluten-free bread first. Well, I can tell you, I lost. After a long trial and error period he came out with amazing gluten-free bread and it turned out that sourdough fermentation worked best and gave the best results. The end results were bread, a process and a recipe that you can make at home without complicated ingredients.
So, today I’m sharing a recipe and a process for this amazing and simple gluten-free sourdough bread and gluten-free sourdough starter with you!

Honestly, I didn’t came across a decent and simple gluten-free bread anywhere on the internet – the breads are either expensive to make or end results are not palatable.
