It is used to make gluten-free sourdough bread and other baked goods. The starter culture helps to break down the starches in the flour, creating a dough that is easier to digest and more flavorful than just using gluten-free flour alone. It also provides a unique flavor and texture to the finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I make GF sourdough bread?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGluten-free sourdough bread is made with a combination of gluten-free flours, such as brown rice, sorghum, millet, buckwheat, potato starch etc, and a sourdough starter.
