Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole30-compliant sourdough starter (made with cassava flour)
• 2 cups Cassava flour
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, almond flour, ground flaxseed, turmeric powder, and sea salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the Whole30-compliant sourdough starter, warm water, and olive oil. Make sure the water is lukewarm to help activate the starter.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until cohesive.

Step 4

Fold the sunflower seeds into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a loaf and transfer it to a parchment-lined bread pan. Alternatively, shape it into a round boule and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm spot for 4-6 hours, or until it has risen slightly. This process allows the sourdough starter to ferment and develop flavor.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 10

Serve plain or paired with your favorite Whole30-compliant toppings, such as avocado or almond butter.
