  • 20 grams psyllium husk (not powder)

  • 20 grams honey

  • 300 grams room temperature filtered water

  • 80 grams potato starch

  • 80 grams sorghum flour

  • 80 grams brown rice flour

  • 60 grams tapioca flour

  • 15 grams salt

Instructions

  1. :

    • Mix starter, water, and brown rice flour. Cover and let sit at room temperature 4–12 hours, until bubbly and active7.

  2. :

    • In a large bowl, whisk psyllium husk and water. Let gel for 1–2 minutes.

    • Add honey, potato starch, sorghum flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, and salt. Mix to combine.

  3. :

    • Cover and let the dough rise at room temperature for 4–6 hours, or until slightly puffy67.

  4. :

    • Shape into a round or oval loaf. Place in a parchment-lined bowl or banneton. Cover and proof for 2–3 hours, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor7.

  5. :

    • Preheat oven and Dutch oven to 450°F (232°C). Score the loaf with a sharp blade5.

    • Bake covered for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake 20–30 minutes until golden and crusty57.

  6. :

    • Let cool completely before slicing for best texture

Notes

  • Use a mature, active gluten-free starter for best rise and flavor

  • Psyllium husk helps mimic gluten’s structure, creating a chewy crumb

  • For a softer crust, bake on a tray with steam; for a crunchier crust, use a Dutch oven

  • Let bread cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy texture

  • Customize with seeds, nuts, or dried fruit for variety
