What is Buckwheat 

Contrary to popular belief, buckwheat is not actually an ancient grain. It's a fruit seed related to rhubarb. However due to its nutrient profile and texture it is often used as a grain for culinary purposes. And buckwheat bread being one of those. 

Buckwheat contains powerful antioxidants that can protect the body from harmful agents.

It is also a good source of some essential minerals like manganese but more importantly, its consumption is linked to lowered risk of developing high cholesterol.

So a great health and heart supporting ingredient that you'd want to include in your nutrition. 

We love using buckwheat in our everyday cooking so you can try our buckwheat banana pancakes or banana buckwheat gluten-free waffles.

Ingredients for buckwheat bread recipe 

labelled ingredients on white background.
  • Buckwheat Flour: The star ingredient, providing a unique nutty flavor to the bread.
  • Rye Flour (or any other wheat flour): Adds structure and complements the buckwheat taste. Rye has very little gluten so the bread will be a healthy looking artisan bread. If you want more fluff you can use all-purpose flour. 
  • Hot Water: Activates the yeast and aids in the fermentation process.
  • Active Dry Yeast: Essential for leavening and giving the bread its airy texture.
  • Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the bread.

Process shots showing 4 images how to make the recipe.
  1. Cover the bowl with a tablecloth and let the dough double in size in a warm place for about 2 hours.
  2. After 2 hours (or more), take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
  3. Sprinkle a little flour on the risen dough and shape it into a ball.
  4. Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it sit for an additional 40 minutes. See, super easy. 

Bake:

Process shots showing 4 images how to make the recipe.
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F / 220°C.
  2. After 40 minutes, touch the sides of the dough to compact it and hold its shape. You can brush the top with some egg yolk for shine. You can also sprinkle the top with some sesame seeds. 
  3. Place the bread in the oven, with another tray of fresh water at the bottom of the oven for a crispy crust.
  4. Bake for 35 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven, let the bread cool and then cut into that delicious crust. 

Serve a slice of bread with some butter and a pinch of salt, make avocado toast, top with some nut butter like peanut butter or hazelnut butter or serve with homemade lentil and carrot soup, roasted butternut squash and carrot soup or vegan broccoli soup. 

Bread Rise Tip: In warm climates the dough will rise faster than in cold climates. In the winter I place the dough near a radiator. If you are in a warm climate the bread may only need an hour or an hour and a half to rise.

    Don’t you need to put some sweetener in with the yeast so it can froth up??

      No, this recipe works without any sugar. Sugar will increase the activity of the yeast but it is not necessary.

    I usually bake bread in a Le Creuset casserole. How would this bread turn out if baked that way?

      I haven't tried it, but I assume so. It would probably have a nicer shape and you may need to increase the baking time.
