An easy Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread recipe with a perfect golden crust and soft & flavorful middle. This rustic-style boule is dairy-free, to boot!
Where do I start with this one? This has got to be one of the most magical recipes I’ve ever shared. The bread is just so gosh darn good, it’s really hard to tell that it isn’t loaded with gluten. The crispy crust and soft interior make for such a lovely combo that’s great on its own, alongside butter or spread or for use in sandwiches, toast—you name it!

Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup gluten-free sourdough starter (click for recipe)
- 2 cups sparkling water or water
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or vinegar
- 1½ cups gluten-free all purpose flour (with xanthan gum) plus extra for coating
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl add starter, water, egg, oil, maple syrup, and vinegar. Whisk well.
- Add remaining dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough, adding flour as needed, to form a smooth but still slightly tacky round of dough.
- Place in a greased bowl or in a greased parchment paper-lined pan. Cover and let rise overnight or at least 6 hours.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a cast iron skillet or dutch oven into the oven while it preheats, for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and knead slightly to re-form a nice round of dough. Optionally, score the dough with any design of your choosing. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature while the oven and pan preheat.
- After 30 minutes of resting time, place the dough into a greased parchment paper-lined dutch oven or cast iron skillet. If using a dutch oven, place a few ice cubes on the outside of the parchment, but on the inside of the pan before placing the lid and on and placing into the oven. If using a cast iron or other oven-safe skillet, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven right after place the bread on the middle rack. Keep the oven door closed the entire time to ensure proper steaming.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the bread has formed a nice golden crust, is firm and sounds hollow when you tap on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best results. Slicing too soon can result in a gummy or dense bread.
- Slice and enjoy!

09/29/2020 at 8:52 AMIt was the picture of your gluten-free sourdough bread that caught my eye – so sweet looking! And the ingredients were already in my pantry. Plus, your instructions and video steps are very helpful. So I made my first attempt at making the bread – it turned out pretty well. It did rise nicely and is so much better than any gluten-free bread available in stores. Having freshly baked gluten-free bread is the best! Next time I will use the Namaste brand of all-purpose flour. I used another brand which had the xanthum gum in the blend. I might have added too much extra flour during the initial kneading and maybe the blend of flour was a little different. Thank you so much for this recipe – keep up the good work! I will be trying more of your recipes!
