Gluten Free Orange Cranberry Sourdough
January feels like the longest month ever, right? I knew I needed to make a fresh, happy sourdough loaf to make it a little more bearable! Brightland was kind enough to send me some of their olive oil and a jar of their orange blossom honey and as soon as I tried the honey, I knew that it would be perfect for a happy winter sourdough loaf!
Enter my Gluten Free Orange Cranberry Sourdough! The combination of orange blossom honey, plus fresh orange zest, cranberries, and white chocolate makes for a wonderful winter sourdough loaf!

- In a large glass bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and orange zest.
- In a separate bowl, combine the water, honey, olive oil, and psyllium husk. Let it sit for a few minutes or until it begins to thicken. Once the psyllium husk mixture has thickened, mix in the sourdough starter.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix with a dough whisk until roughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Knead the dough until you can form it into a smooth round bowl. Dust a clean bowl or banneton basket with white rice flour, place the dough seam side up, cover, and let proof on the counter for another 2 hours.
- Place the loaf in the fridge for 8 to 12 hours for the long proof.
- Once the long proof is over, it is time to shape your dough and add in the inclusions:
- Flatten the dough into a rectangle, being careful not to cause any tears or holes.
- Scatter half of the chocolate chips and half of the craisins on to the flatten dough.
- Fold the dough into thirds, creating a trifold, and then roll into a ball. Knead gently to close the seams and shape the loaf.
- Rest for 15-20 minutes and repeat the same steps with the rest of the inclusions. This helps with even distribution.
- The last step before baking is one more shorter proof. Place the dough seam side up in the bowl/basket and cover with the rest of the towel. Let it proof in the fridge for 2 hours.
- 30 minutes or so before the final proof is over, preheat your oven to 500F with your dutch oven inside of it.
- Once the oven has preheated, lay a piece of parchment paper down on the counter and place the dough seam-side down. Score the dough in any design you would like using a bread lame or a knife. Then, carefully place the dough into your dutch oven.
- Drop your oven temperature to 450F and bake the loaf with the lid on the dutch oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- When the loaf is done baking, immediately remove from the dutch oven and place on a cooling rack. As tempting as it may be, do not cut into your loaf! You need to let it cool for a few hours before you slice into it, otherwise it will be gummy.
- For optimal freshness, slice your loaf and store in a bag or container in the freezer.
