Sourdough Gluten free

Does the sourdough without fail book include information on making gluten free bread?

I want to know too! Medically necessary auto-immune celiac here, so GF is non-negotiable.   I haven't tried doing sourdough yet but was starting to look into it so  I really hope this book goes there.  

Are you asking about Kate Downham's Sourdough Without Fail book? If so, the  description on Amazonincludes:

100% Whole Grains: Every recipe uses 100% whole grain flours, including wheat, ancient grains, and gluten-free options. No white flour, no yeast, and no white sugar, bake healthy bread with slow fermentation techniques that prioritise flavour, nutrition, and digestibility.  

So seems like it does.

Not sure why that's not on the Permies digital market thread for it, but I think she would have that based on her A Year in an Off-Grid Kitchen: Homestead Kitchen Skills and Real Food Recipes for Resilient Health book's sample on Amazon. The section 'A few kitchen notes' in that sample includes codes for recipes for various things like GF = Gluten Free, PF = Paleo Friendly/grain-free, DF = Dairy Free, V = Vegetarian, O = Option (for a recipe with options), and that PF recipes sometime have potatoes or dairy so may not be suitable for all versions of Paleo.

Yes, there is a whole chapter of gluten-free breads, using different binders and different grains, plus how to make a gluten-free starter, and all about the properties of different gluten-free grains. One of the doughs in the gluten-free chapter works really well for rolls, baguettes, and pizza bases too.

The discard chapter has lots of gluten-free options too like pancakes, crackers, cakes, muffins, apple pie, chocolate cookies, and flatbreads.

Thanks for pointing that out, May. I've now updated the Permies description to be the same as the Amazon one.

Great, Kate! Thanks for the confirmation, and nice to cyber-meet you too!

Oooo! I’m especially excited about learning how to use ancient grains, and if that doesn’t work well with my gut, then trying a GF blend. Do you have a blend without rice flour?

Congratulations on the book!

Thank you!

Yes, there are several GF loaves without rice flour in Sourdough Without Fail, including 100% buckwheat, 100% quinoa, and 100% oat, and the discard recipes that are suitable for making GF have all been tested with 100% buckwheat flour.
