Buckwheat and teff flours are great at catching a sourdough starter.
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook buckwheat sourdough starter using 3 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Buckwheat Sourdough Starter:
- Take 35 gm raisins
- Take 365 ml boiling water
- Prepare 385 gm buckwheat flour
Unfortunately, buckwheat flour does not form gluten so baking with it can be a challenge. Scalding the buckwheat flour before adding it to the dough allows you to add a much higher percentage of buckwheat to the loaf while still getting a nice. Discarded sourdough starter can be composted, fed to chickens, or used to make other sourdough goodies - like gluten-free sourdough crackers with herbs and cheese! Refresh the sourdough starter (which has been kept in the fridge unless you bake almost daily).
Steps to make Buckwheat Sourdough Starter:
- DAY 1 - Soak the raisins in the boiling water, leave them to soak until the water has cooled until it is tepid (just above room temp is fine). Then strain the raisins out of the water.
- In a glass bowl or large jar (I used a large bowl), place 40g of buckwheat flour and 80mls of your tepid raisin water and mix to form a paste. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm spot for 24 hours. Reserve your raisin water for day 2.
- DAY 2 - Whisk in another 40 g of the buckwheat flour and 55mls of your raisin water (warm it very slightly if you can for max yeast growth oomph). Cover again and leave for 24 hours.
- DAY 3 - Whisk in a further 75g buckwheat flour and 115 ml of your raisin water. Cover and leave to ferment for a further 24 hours.
- DAY 4 - Hopefully today you will start to notice a mild vinegar like smell and you may see some large surface bubbles. Discard half your mixture (don't throw it out - you can make pancakes, crackers and even cookies with this discarded batter). Then whisk 75g buckwheat flour and 115 ml of raisin water to your starter. Cover and leave to ferment for 24 hours.
- DAY 5 - Whisk in your remaining 155g of flour and add 225 ml of regular tepid water. Cover loosely and set aside for 4 hours of until really bubbly. Then store in the fridge for a final 12 hours before using.
This is the moment when your starter comes to life again. You refresh sourdough starter by adding fresh flour and water and this will produce sufficient activity to ensure the refreshed sourdough starter can act as the raising agent in your final. In a large bowl mix the starter, egg, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla together. Stir in the salt, buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and ginger. Adjust consistency with more flour or some water, depending upon how thick your starter is.
