A gluten-free alternative to traditional sourdough starter, this quinoa-based starter adds a nutty flavor to your bread and is perfect for those with gluten sensitivities.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa. 2 cups water. 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice. 1/4 cup whole wheat flour.
Instructions: Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. Let quinoa cool to room temperature. Mix in apple juice and whole wheat flour, creating a thick paste. Transfer the mixture to a glass or plastic container and loosely cover. Let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, stirring occasionally. Once bubbles form, your Quinoa Sourdough Starter is ready to use!
