Easy Buckwheat Bread (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Buckwheat is one of my favourite gluten-free alternatives. And lately I’ve been working on a new bread recipe. So this time I used only buckwheat flour. Plus soy-sauce for the saltiness. It turned out amazing!

And while this bread recipe is as always vegan and gluten-free, it is also super easy to make! The ingredients are nutritious whole grains without any fillers like starches. And it tastes amazing with vegan “cream cheese” 🙂

Course Baking Savoury, Bread

Cuisine German

Servings 1 Bread

Equipment

• loaf tin 23 cm

Ingredients

  

Make a Bread:

• 250 ml warm water
• 1 heaped teaspoon molasses
• 2 teaspoon active dried yeast
• 500 g buckwheat flour
• 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk
• 190 ml warm water
• 3 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce

For brushing:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• Quinoa flakes for garnish optional

Instructions

 

• Dissolve the molasses in one cup of warm water. Stir in the active dried yeast. Let sit for approx. 10 minutes or until it becomes real foamy on top.
• In the meantime sift buckwheat flour into a bowl, add psyllium fiber husk and mix.
• When the yeast mixture is foamy on top, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add 3/4 cup warm water and 3 tablespoon of soy-sauce. Stir to combine.
• Line the loaf tin with baking paper. Sprinkle some quinoa flakes into it (optional). Spread the dough evenly in the loaf tin. Place in a warm spot* to get the dough to rise. You can cover it with a damp tea towel but it works without it too.
• After approx. 45 minutes the dough should have risen to almost twice its size. If you used the oven to let the dough rise, place the loaf tin in a different spot. Then preheat the oven to 210°C (top-/bottom heat).
• Mix the olive oil and water and gently brush the top of the dough. Then sprinkle with some more quinoa flakes (optional).
• Place in oven and bake for approx. 45 minutes. Should the top brown too much, cover it.

Notes

Enjoy! 🙂

*I like to use the oven for the dough to rise, by switching it on for a short time to make it warm (not hot though!).
