GF Honey Almond Sourdough Bread

This recipe originally comes from "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread" by Bette Hagman.  I have, however, made some changes to it.  It's a good reference point, to begin exploring the world of sourdough.  And from this you can adapt other recipes as you desire.

HONEY ALMOND SOURDOUGH BREAD

2 Cups 4 Flour Bean Mix**
1 1/2 teaspoon xantham gum
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg + 1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

3 Tablespoons oil (I use sunflower oil)

*in another bowl combine egg, vinegar, sourdough starter, oil, & honey
