Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups of sourdough starter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 5 tbsp ground flax
- 5 tbsp ground psyllium husk
- 4 tbsp tapioca starch, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- Mix all of the dough ingredients together except for the tapioca starch, which is used to form the buns.
- The batter will start out quite liquidy. Leave it for 5 minutes to thicken, then stir it again.
- This is a quick bread, so the buns can be formed after 5 minutes.
- Make a small circle of tapioca starch on the counter using about 2 tbsp of tapioca starch.
- Using a large spoon scoop out about a 1/4 cup of dough and place it in the centre of the tapioca starch.
- Form the dough into a ball (depending on the type of bun you are making), then place the bun on a greased baking sheet.
- Use more tapioca starch as needed to form the rest of the buns.
- Bake the buns for 20-30 minutes. The buns are ready when they have a crusty exterior and fully cooked interior.
Notes
- It’s really quick and easy to make a gluten-free sourdough starter from scratch. Here are my instructions for a typical sourdough starter and an even quicker recipe for a sourdough starter with milk kefir or kombucha.
- Buckwheat and teff make very active sourdough starters in about 24 hours. Rice and other GF flours usually take a bit longer. I usually avoid baking with white rice because I find it to be very dry and flavourless.
