Our signature sourdough recipe that proves grain-free can be truly artisan—crisp, tangy, hearty, and delicious. This makes excellent French toast, too. I have so many other recipes with this grain-free sourdough bread that you will love, so be sure to check out my other recipes.
Start by weighing each ingredient into individual bowls using a food scale set to the gram measurement.
In the stand-up bowl mixer, mix together the water, psyllium husk, and honey using the paddle attachment. Mix for about a minute or until it looks fully incorporated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes while you measure out your other ingredients into individual bowls.
25 g psyllium husk, 25 g honey, 300 g water
Combine the almond flour, tapioca flour and salt into a bowl. Using a whisk. Blend the ingredients together until fully mixed.
147 g almond flour, 204 g tapioca flour, 7 g salt
After letting the psyllium husk mixture rest for 10 minutes, add in the sourdough starter and mix for one minute on the lowest setting until fully mixed.
85 g active grain-free sourdough starter
Turn off the mixer and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on the lowest setting for 1 to 2 minutes or until fully combined.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape the dough onto a tea towel that has been lightly dusted with tapioca flour.
Add a small amount of olive oil to your hands and gently shape the dough into a round ball. Place the dough back onto the tea towel and into your medium bowl with a lid.
Proofing Your Dough
Cover the dough with the tea towel and let it proof in a space that is 75°F for 5 hours.
After 4 hours, preheat the oven to 500°F. Place your Dutch Oven on the top rack and your pizza stone or cast iron skillet on the bottom rack, and heat everything for 1 hour.
Scoring Your Dough
Lightly dust the top of your dough with tapioca flour.
Using your lame or a serrated knife, gently score a simple pattern onto the top of the loaf.
Baking Your Dough
Remove your Dutch Oven from the oven.
Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of your Dutch Oven and place your dough on the parchment paper.
Place your dough and parchment paper inside the Dutch Oven, put the lid on, and return to the top rack of your oven. Reduce the temperature to 450°F and set a timer to bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the lid from the Dutch Oven, reduce the temperature to 400°F and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the Dutch Oven and the parchment paper from the oven completely, and place the loaf on the top rack in your oven. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven and place it on a cooling rack for at least 4 hours.
