Equipment

1 Mixer

Ingredients

2 cups buckwheat flour
2 cups rye flour (or any other wheat flour)
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

Make the dough

Begin by placing salt and dry active yeast into a large bowl.
Pour in hot water and mix it all together with a wooden spoon.
Add all the flour to the large mixing bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Let it rise

Cover the bowl with a tablecloth and let the dough double in size in a warm place for about 2 hours.
After 2 hours, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
Sprinkle a little flour on the risen dough and shape it into a ball.
Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it sit for an additional 40 minutes. See, super easy.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 450°F / 220°C.
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.
Place the bread in the oven, with another tray of fresh water at the bottom of the oven for a crispy crust.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven, let the bread cool and then cut into that delicious crust.

Notes

To make it gluten-free use gluten free all purpose flour
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.
