12 servings
For the dough
- 200g (about ¾ cup + 2 tbsp) active gluten free sourdough starter, fed and bubbly
- 300g (about 2 cups) white rice flour
- 100g (about ¾ cup) tapioca starch
- 50g (about ⅓ cup) potato starch
- 20g (about 3 tbsp) whole psyllium husk
- 10g (2 tsp) fine sea salt
- 350g (about 1 ½ cups) warm water (90–100°f / 32–38°c)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For dusting
- 1–2 tbsp white rice flour, for dusting
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 300g white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, psyllium husk, and salt until evenly combined.

Add the active starter, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix vigorously with a stiff spatula or your hand for 2–3 minutes until a cohesive, slightly tacky dough forms — it will be denser and stickier than wheat dough but should hold its shape when pressed. Let the dough rest uncovered for 5 minutes; the psyllium will absorb the liquid and the dough will firm up noticeably.
