Gluten Free Brown Rice Sourdough Starter
"I love sourdough and was happy to find that a starter could be made with gluten free flour. This was a recipe that I found on line and tweaked a bit. It is made with commercial yeast. I may try my hand later on with growing a wild yeast starter but time will tell. For the moment I am happy to be doing some sourdough baking again."
- Ready In:
- 24hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons commercial yeast
- 2 cups warm filtered water
- 2 cups brown rice flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
directions
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a sterilized glass jar or crock. Allow to become bubbly, stir in the brown rice flour and brown sugar. Cover and allow to stand overnight.
- The next morning stir down the starter with a wooden spoon and if the mixture is very thin stir in an additional 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir several times throughout the day.
- After 24 hours the mixture should have a slight sour odor. The starter can be used at this point.
- When feeding the starter use these guidelines: If using 1 cup of the starter, feed remaining starter with 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon brown sugar and filtered water. I like my starter a little on the thick side.
- Starter should be fed weekly and may be kept in the refrigerator between feedings.

This stuff is GREAT! So far I've made bread and english muffins with this starter and they have been fabulous! I found that when I feed it, if I use 1 c flour, 1 tsp brown sugar, it takes about 3/4 c water to bring it back to it's original consistency. It's been so easy to work with. Thanks! -
Worked like a charm! I used this to make recipe #490753 and it was perfect. Thanks so much for posting! -
Made this to use in your Multi-Grain Sourdough Waffles recipe! So easy & very nice to have on hand, as the 2 of us are also big on sourdough! Thanks for sharing it!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
