Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of buckwheat flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 1/4 cups of warm water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt.
- Add the honey to the warm water and stir until dissolved.
- Pour the honey water into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf on a greased baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Buckwheat bread has a rich history dating back centuries, with origins in regions like Russia, France, and the United States. This hearty, gluten-free bread has gained popularity for its nutty flavor and dense texture. Chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi and Thomas Keller have put their own spin on the traditional recipe, incorporating local ingredients and innovative techniques. Today, the best versions of buckwheat bread can be found in artisanal bakeries and health-conscious restaurants, particularly in regions known for their buckwheat production, such as Brittany, France. To make the perfect buckwheat bread, it's crucial to use high-quality buckwheat flour and allow for proper fermentation to develop its distinct flavor. For a unique twist, consider adding ingredients like honey, nuts, or seeds to enhance the bread's taste and texture.
