Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, eggs, and warm water, whisking until well blended.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a dough.

Fold in the grain-free sourdough starter until the dough is well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for about 1 hour to help it rise slightly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
