I use rice flour for two reasons when baking sourdough!
🤍 1. To avoid adding extra wheat flour to the outside of my loaf. Sourdough fermentation breaks down some proteins and carbohydrates, which may make it easier to digest for some people. Rice flour lets me dust my dough without adding extra wheat flour to the crust. (Remember, sourdough is NOT gluten-free and is not safe for people with celiac disease!)
🌾 2. To make my scoring designs POP! Rice flour doesn’t brown like regular flour during baking, giving you that beautiful contrast between the white design and golden-brown crust. 😍
It’s not necessary, but if you love getting creative with your sourdough scoring, I highly recommend giving it a try!
