Gluten Free Brown Rice Sourdough Starter

---

I love sourdough and was happy to find that a starter could be made with gluten free flour. this was a recipe that i found on line and tweaked a bit. it is made with commercial yeast. i may try my hand later on with growing a wild yeast starter but time will tell. for the moment i am happy to be doing some sourdough baking again.

Steps

---

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a sterilized glass jar or crock.

---

Allow to become bubbly , stir in the brown rice flour and brown sugar.

---

Cover and allow to stand overnight.

---

The next morning stir down the starter with a wooden spoon and if the mixture is very thin stir in an additional 1 / 2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon sugar.

---

Stir several times throughout the day.

---

After 24 hours the mixture should have a slight sour odor.

---

The starter can be used at this point.

---

When feeding the starter use these guidelines: if using 1 cup of the starter , feed remaining starter with 1 cup of flour , 1 teaspoon brown sugar and filtered water.

---

I like my starter a little on the thick side.

---

Starter should be fed weekly and may be kept in the refrigerator between feedings.
