- 2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with the honey or maple syrup. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using gluten-free flour, mix until well combined without kneading.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is firm and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free flour to ensure the bread is fully gluten-free.
- Add seeds like sunflower, flax, or sesame for extra texture.
- For a sweeter loaf, increase the honey or add dried fruit.
- Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freeze slices for longer storage and toast before serving.
