Gluten Free Sourdough Sandwich Bread

This gluten free sourdough sandwich bread is the perfect sourdough bread for making sandwiches.

This recipe has been years in the making. I have adjusted the recipe and tried different things, and finally got what we think is the perfect gluten free sourdough sandwich bread.

Years before I went gluten free I made regular sourdough. A couple of years ago, I started experimenting with gluten-free starter. After a lot of experimenting, I am finally sharing some gluten-free sourdough recipes.

I am starting with gluten-free sourdough sandwich bread, which is one of my favorites. It is also a recipe that is so good everyone can enjoy it.

Yes, gluten free bread can be delicious. My husband, who does not have to eat gluten-free, eats this bread all the time.

Let me start by saying that this isn’t a true sourdough bread. It contains sourdough starter, but since it also contains yeast, it is not a true sourdough. I also do not let the dough rise for an extended period.

I call this a sourdough sandwich bread because it contains sourdough starter, but I know that it is not a true sourdough. It is, however, delicious!

This recipe also uses individual gluten-free flours, not a gluten-free blend.

I experimented with this recipe for over a year. I tried different blends and different individual flours. The gluten-free blends I tried, including my favorite, Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Blend, had a slightly gummy texture. They just weren’t quite right. They were okay, but not good enough to share with you.

Once I started experimenting with the individual flours and added some whole-grain gluten-free flours, the results were amazing.

I have a gluten-free sandwich bread that I love and have made for years, but this one is my new favorite. This is the only bread I now make for sandwiches.

That is how good this gluten free sourdough sandwich bread is.

Look at the texture of that gluten free sandwich bread!

It makes the best gluten-free toast, sandwiches, French toast, and more.

If you have a gluten free sourdough starter, this is a recipe that you need to make.

I do want to say that although this bread is delicious, I would not consider it a beginner gluten-free recipe unless you have a lot of bread-baking experience.

If you have baked a lot of bread in the past, you will probably do fine making this as long as you remember that gluten free dough is totally different than regular dough. It has a very different texture since it doesn’t have the gluten.

So if you are new to gluten-free and have not done a lot of gluten-free baking, you might want to wait to make this recipe until you have more gluten-free baking experience.

This is what the gluten free soughdough sandwich bread dough looks like. It is a lot wetter and stickier than regular dough.

It also doesn’t really shape into a loaf. You just dump and spread it into the bread pan.

However, it does rise up into a nice loaf.

And after it bakes, it makes a beautiful loaf of gluten-free bread.

The best gluten free sourdough bread for making sandwiches.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Additional Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 3/4 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
1/3 cup oil, canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup fed/active gluten free sourdough starter
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup teff flour
1/4 cup sorghum flour
3/4 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1 1/2 tablespoon whole psyllium husk

Instructions

In the bowl of a mixer, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and let sit for about 5 minutes.
Add egg, oil, and gluten free sourdough starter. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. I whisk them together so that they are well combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Mix using the dough hook of an electric mixer.
Mix for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times. You do not knead this like regular bread dough, but it does need to be mixed well. I have found about 5 minutes is a good time. It is really sticky you can add a 2 or so more tablespoons of rice flour if needed, but it will not be the same texture as regular yeast dough.
Spread dough into a greased loaf pan.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 1 hour.
Bake at 375 for 30 – 32 minutes.
Remove from pan and let cool on wire cooling rack.
Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

I used Bob's Red Mill Xanthan gum, rice flour, teff flour, and sorghum flour, and tapicoa flour. Other brands may work, but the texture may vary.

Looking Back February 2016

Today, we are looking back at the recipes I shared in February 2016.

Last month, I shared a look back at January 2016. I didn’t do the social media trend of sharing pictures of myself and my family; instead, I took a look back at the recipes I shared.

It was so fun to share this last month that I thought it would be good to take a look back at the recipes I shared in 2016 every month this year.

Today, we are looking back at what I shared in February of 2016.

Looking Back February 2016

Back in 2016, we were still raising hogs, and my freezer was full of pork. I don’t miss the work of raising pigs, but I sure do miss all the bacon I had in my freezer.

2016 was the year I shared how to cook bacon in the oven. It is still my favorite way to cook bacon.

Chocolate Chip Coconut Breakfast Cookies

I also shared my Chocolate Chip Coconut Breakfast Cookie recipe. My kids also call these Mound Bar Breakfast Cookies. I have not made these in years. I think it might be time to make them again.

I call this pizza soup, but my son used to call it Crustless Pizza in a Bowl. No matter what you call it, it is a recipe that kids and adults love.

February must be soup month because I also shared my King Ranch Chicken Soup. I just made this last month during the winter storm that hit our area. I made it again last weekend for our church small group dinner, so it is another recipe we still enjoy.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Bundt Cake

This Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Bundt is still a favorite ten years later. We have made this cake so many times for birthdays, church dinners, and when we had company.

I also recommend this recipe all the time to people looking for gluten-free, dairy-free desserts.

I developed these Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins as a copycat of a store-bought gluten-free muffin. They are one of my favorite gluten-free copycat recipes. My girls and I have made these so many times.

If you are a long-time reader, do you remember any of these recipes? Have you made them before?
