Hello and welcome to my channel if you are new here my name is Kira and I have had celiac disease for over 15 years and today I am so happy to share with you how to make a simple one week no discard gluten-free sourdough starter be sure to like subscribe and follow along for many more gluten-free sourdough recipes here you see my large jar of active bubbly.
And happy gluten-free sourdough starter that I bake with with multiple times a week and make all sorts of sourdough discard recipes if this is completely new to you sourdough is a wild yeast and bacteria that is formed over time using flour and water and this is just a gluten-free version by using sourdough instead of a typical store butt yeast it.
Will help the grains in your bread break down so that they are easily digestable which is wonderful for anyone even if you don’t have a gluten intolerance so let’s Jump Right In to begin you’re going to need a mason jar some gluten-free flour and water I use King Arthur’s one: one gluten-free flour for all of my baking and I also.
Make gluten-free sourdough bread with this flour as well and have recipes on my channel explaining exactly how I do that today I’m going to show you step by step what I do and then for the future days I will speed things up a little bit and just give you the measurements you’re going to start by adding two 2 tbsp of gluten-free flour and 3 tbspoon.
Of water to your mason jar we’re not going to add a super large amount of flow so that we don’t have to worry about discarding anything we also aren’t going to be using a scale because I have found that sourdough starter is extremely resilient it works out well with many things that I have thrown at it and being super precise down to a.
Scale in this situation just does not seem necessary so we’re going to give that a very good mix once you have all of your ingredients in there and then you want to cover it I’m covering it with a little hand towel or a dish towel and a rubber band you want to make sure that you can have air flow to it but cannot let bugs or anything in so.
Something that is thicker than a cheesecloth on day two you won’t notice much of a change to your starter it should still be liquidy that’s why we added an extra tablespoon of water the first day so that it does not dry out very quickly and now we do our day two feeding as we call it which is going to be 2 tablespoons of the gluten-free King.
Arthur’s flour and 2 tbspoon of water once you’ve given it a good mix go ahead and cover it and set it aside each day that you are setting it aside be sure that you keep it somewhere that is not overly cold and somewhere that is not drafty some people like to put theirs in their oven but keep in mind if you go to preheat your oven and forget.
It in there it will be a sad day for you on day three we’re going to add 3 tablespoons of gluten-free flour and 2 tablespoons of water mix it up and cover again day four is when we actually see some activity you can see the bubbles in your starter beginning to form and you can start to smell this sweet sour kind of smell to it and it’s so exciting on.
Day four you can see that it’s starting to peel away and have this thick pancake like consistency we’re going to add 3 tbspoon of gluten-free flour and 3 tblspoon of water again give it a nice little mix and cover it up from here on out is where you will really see the starter begin to get active it should look like.
A pancake like consistency a thick pancake batter at the end of each day when you are mixing it day five is extremely bubbly we are really about to have an active starter and from here on out just get more and more active by day five you are going to be able to smell a fairly strong sour smell to it and you should have it sticking.
Slightly to the sides of your jar we will add four tablespoons of gluten-free flour and four tablespoons of water give it another good mix cover it and sit it aside somewhere today I’m going to mark it so that we can actually see the growth in the starter overnight some people will wrap a rubber band around it so that you can see what the.
Growth looks like but this worked just as well and also not a necessary step day six we’re going to give it one big feeding so that it will be very happy and bubbly and ready to cook by the next day so we will do 5 tablespoons of gluten-free flour and 5 tablespoon of water once you have everything in and you give it a good mix you will sit it.
Aside for tomorrow now some people will say that gluten-free starter will not double in size and overflow like a typical sour that has gluten in it however I do want to tell you that I have had the experience that mine has overflown my container before so be cautious of how much you are feeding it you can see here on day seven this is a.
Very light Airy happy gluten-free sourdough starter and it is ready to bake with so today I took one full cup out of my starter and I made some sourdough tortillas with it and then I was ready to feed it again or sit it to the side and let it rest this is where we get into maintenance once you’ve used your starter you want to be sure that.
You leave at least a tiny little bit in the bottom of your jar it really does not take much for your starter to be able to reactivate what you add to it so here you see the tiny little bit that I have left and this is where you have two options one you can put your starter into the fridge and it will slow down its process of creating new yeast and in.
Which case you will pull it out the day that you’re ready to use it and feed it again option two is that you go ahead and feed it a nice big feeding which I did here of a/4 cup of flour 1/4 cup of water mixed it up and then it will be ready to use again the next day now that you have successfully established your active bubbly sourdough starter you can.
Keep it in this jar or I personally keep mine in a much larger container I have three little boys that are growing in my house and we eat a lot of food from scratch and make a lot of sourdough food so if you are like myself and you do a lot of sourdough cooking a larger jar might be great for you I really like this one because I can leave it popped.
Open to let the air flow whenever I first feed it and then when I put it in the fridge I just close it off one thing to keep in mind with your gluten-free starter is despite the fact that it will be bubbly and active within that one week it can take a couple months to reach its full potential so go ahead and bake with it the more you bake with it.
And keep feeding it the happier your starter will be thank you for joining me in learning how to make your very own gluten-free sourdough starter and happy baking
