Another simple way to get started is to make no-knead sourdough bread that is cooked in a Dutch oven. I used to make that regularly (before quitting all flours and wheat), and it's great.

You use less starter and let it rise longer. Then bake it in the Dutch oven the next day without kneading it.

great tip on the Dutch oven, I graduated from there to making freeform/traditional sourdoughs and loved making both, really loved it. and while i didn't give up wheat or anything I did just end up with a ton of bread all the time which isn't good long term for me so mostly had to give it up.
