Whole-Grain Brown Rice-Teff Sourdough Starter (gluten free)
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, teff flour, and water until you have a paste that has the consistency of hummus.

  2. If your paste is thicker, add a very small amount of water and whisk.

  3. Make sure to incorporate air into it.

  4. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it ferment for about 12 hours or until the sponge has a mousse-like texture when you run a spoon through it.

  5. Measure 75 grams of the starter into a medium bowl.

  6. Discard the rest.

  7. Whisk in the same amount of brown rice flour, teff flour, and water as in the first feeding.

  8. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and ferment for about 12 hours or until it has a mousse-like texture.

  9. Repeat the process every 12 hours for a total of 10 feedings (5 days).

  10. By day 3, you should see bubbles and aeration after 12 hours.

  11. Right after the tenth feeding, transfer the starter to a mason jar (anything from a 12-ounce to a 1-quart/1 L jar will work well) and let it ferment for 12 hours or until it is bubbly.

  12. The starter is ready to be used.
