Overnight Sourdough Rice & Teff Baguettes
I made baguettes with no wheat and it was good. Like, really good. Better than I could ever have hoped. I know that some of the processes I follow aren't ideal when it comes to traditional bread-making, but without gluten it seems that everything changes.
Despite being gluten-free, these have a great holey crumb and are lighter even than the ciabattas I used to make with wheat. The flavour was lovely and tangy from the sourness.
