As promised… our recipe for the most delicious HOMEMADE vegan and gluten free sourdough, made by my mister, thoroughly enjoyed by me☺️
Making a loaf of sourdough bread requires three steps. The first step is to create a levian which is the fermented flour concoction that acts in place of the activated yeast in a regular “yeasted” loaf. The levian is basically a big sourdough starter and the ingredients are mixed together and left on the counter until it becomes active (6 to 12 hours). Once the levian is active, then the dough can be made and formed into a loaf. The formed loaf is then covered with a tea towel, put into a bag and put aside until it has risen (4 to 6 hours). Finally, the loaf is baked in the oven for 60 minutes and, once cooled, it’s ready to eat!
Because there are some long wait times in this process it helps to think through your schedule when you are planning on making a loaf of bread. I sometimes make the levian at 10 in the evening, then I form the dough the following morning sometime between 6 AM and 8 AM, and finally I bake the bread in the early afternoon. Alternately, I sometimes make the levian at 6 AM, the dough at dinner time, and I bake just before bed (yikes … long day).
