Gluten-Free Flour Blends for Sourdough: Protein, Starch, and Baker's Percent
How sorghum, brown rice, millet, teff, buckwheat, tapioca, potato starch, and cornstarch divide the work in a gluten-free sourdough loaf, plus commercial versus DIY baker's percent.
Psyllium Husk in Gluten-Free Sourdough: Gel, Powder, and Baker's Percent
How whole husk and powder structure gluten-free dough, why we use 4-7% baker's percent, how to convert the 85% powder rule, and what to do when the gel turns purple.
Gluten-Free Sourdough Troubleshooting: Dense, Gummy, Collapse, and More
A diagnostic guide for dense crumb, gumminess, no rise, collapse, pale crust, harsh sour, purple dough, and spreading loaves, written from real Indianapolis bakes.
Gluten-Free Sourdough Discard: What It Is, the Hydration Math, and How to Use It Safely
Discard is unfed starter you pull before a feeding. At 100% hydration, 100g discard is 50g flour plus 50g water. Here is when to bake with it, when to skip it, and how we keep it food-safe.

Hydration and Crumb in Gluten-Free Sourdough: Why the Dough Looks Like Batter
Gluten-free dough at 90-110% hydration is supposed to look wet. Here is how to calculate baker's percent, adjust for flour and psyllium, and read the crumb you wanted.

Gluten-free sourdough FAQs
What is gluten-free sourdough?
Gluten-free sourdough is bread fermented with a wild yeast starter grown only on gluten-free flours, then bound with a gel such as psyllium husk. It is not fermented wheat. Structure comes from starch plus 4-7% psyllium, mixed at about 90-110% hydration, baked with steam, and cooled at least two hours before slicing.
Does sourdough fermentation make wheat bread safe for celiac disease?
No. Long fermentation does not reliably remove gluten from wheat, rye, or barley. People with celiac disease need formulas made entirely from gluten-free ingredients, a gluten-free starter, and a kitchen protected from wheat cross-contact.
How long does a gluten-free sourdough starter take?
Most gluten-free starters bubble within 24-48 hours and become bake-ready in 5-10 days, once they double within 4-6 hours of feeding. Whole-grain flour and a 70-75F room speed things up. See the starter guide for the five-day schedule.
Why do gluten-free sourdough recipes use psyllium husk?
Psyllium replaces the elastic network gluten would have built. At 4-7% of flour weight it absorbs water, gels, and lets a high-hydration mix hold shape in the oven. Xanthan is a different gum and is not a one-for-one swap for artisan loaves.
