I am pretty sure I have done an all sorghum starter. It's been a while since I have done any bread baking as my oven heats the kitchen up a lot. I did add yeast to get my going and it had a nice tang. If it isn't working with just sorghum and water, I would add some yeast as I am not sure sorghum has the same properties as wheat to gather the natural yeast in the air. I think you could get one going with oat flour too. I grind the oats up myself in the spice mill. Let me know how it works. The bread never tasted super sourdoughy, so maybe I needed a higher percentage of starter in the bread. Ginger Hi Carrie!

I am trying this without much luck... wondered if you had any! Ginger, were you ever able to create JUST a homemade sourdough starter from sorghum flour and distilled water??
