RW,  I have had a look at what Yoke has to say about making Low Gluten and GF bread. it is obviously very difficult to get a good loaf, ( as it also is with GF yeast bread) The info. is on page 79 of 'Wild Sourdough".
 In brief,  use 50% starter to total flour.
...............use wheat or spelt starter
...............a wetter dough
...............one rise only.
...............a hotter  oven
................water in bottom of oven.
Good luck ;D

I'm afraid that I've been neglecting my starter :(
I took it out of the fridge yesterday, and it had a really strong smell and was dark on top. I took off the dark layer on top, and decanted the rest into a bowl whilst I washed and sterilised the jar. I have fed it, and then used it to make 6 bread rolls and a small loaf. The bread tasted fine, so I think it will be ok. It still smelt quite strong this morning, so I took the top layer off again and fed it again. Phew!

ES,  you could just take a tablespoon out and start a new one with this.

Thanks, I will see how it goes now that I have removed some of it and fed it again.

I did this the other day. The bread had become quite sour. It is amazing how you can feed a new one up.

GHM,  that is fantastic.  Go for it while it is at its peak.  SD bread freezes really well.  Wrap it in foil.

My super powered starter was down to about 50ml by the time i made those two. I gave it half a cup of flour and water last night and a stir before i went to bed and now it looks like its trying to escape from the jar!!!!!
