Ratios

So far I have had best luck using equal parts of my sourdough starter and flour.  This does not align with what I have read about baking bread, but it is working, so I am going with it.

I also have found that adding ground flax to my warm water helps create a dough with more spring to it.  

Here is my best attempt yet:

160 grams sourdough starter

Flax Mixture:
1/2 Cup warm filtered water (99 degrees)
3 Tbs ground flax
1 tsp honey

Dry Ingredients Whisked Together:
40 grams unbolted buckwheat flour
60 g tapioca flour
30 g brown rice flour
30 g ivory teff
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp sea salt

I poured the flax mixture into the starter and mixed thoroughly.  Then I added the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stirred until well combined, adding additional warm water as needed.

I let the dough rise for 1.5 hours.  It probably could have gone longer but I am impatient.

Baked in parchment paper bag for 85 minutes at 400 degrees.
