Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread

This starts, of course, with my husband craving sourdough bread. Normally this isn't a huge issue in the world of grocery stores just down the street, but Jim is gluten or wheat sensitive (not sure which or what the difference might actually look like). We bought a breadmaker and have been purchasing packages of bread mix so he can indulge in fresh bread (ok, I LOVE it too!) but so far, sourdough has eluded us.


A friend had given us the magic secret to making it, and we have started the long process of making a sourdough sponge, to create magic in the kitchen. Tonight we mix the sponge with some of the bread mix, let it "proof" overnight, and then, before I leave in the morning, add it with the other ingredients to the breadmaker, and three hours later, it's bread!
