Ingredients

• 100 g Gluten-free sourdough starter
• 400 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 350 ml Warm water
• 1 tsp Xanthan gum
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 piece Large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter with 250 ml of warm water. Stir gently to combine.

Step 2

Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum into the starter mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined.

Step 3

Add the remaining 100 ml of warm water to the flour mixture in increments, stirring to form a sticky dough. The dough should be somewhat thick and pliable.

Step 4

Mix in the salt, olive oil, and honey, ensuring they are thoroughly incorporated into the dough.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for approximately 6 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, prepare a loaf tin by greasing it lightly with oil.

Step 7

Gently transfer the dough into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the loaf tin with a damp cloth and let it rise again for 1-2 hours until it swells to about 1 inch above the rim of the tin.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 10

Brush the top of the dough gently with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the loaf tin in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a hollow sound is heard when the bottom of the loaf is tapped.

Step 12

Allow the bread to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 13

Slice the bread and use it for your favorite sandwiches.
