Ingredients:
Name | Metric | US | TIP | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hulled buckwheat groats | 500 gr | 2 1/2 cups | ||
Water | 200 ml | 3/4 cup 2 tbsp | ||
Salt | 3 gr | 1/2 tsp |
Optional Ingredients:
Seeds / Spices: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, hemp seeds, herbs. | |
Sweetener (6 gr / 1 tsp) such as coconut sugar to speed up fermentation. |
Equipment:
Blender |
Steps:
Rinse the buckwheat thoroughly until the water runs clear.Add the buckwheat to a large bowl, cover with plenty of water and let it sit for 7-8 hours on the counter or in the refrigerator(if it’s too hot or humid).
Once soaked, drain (do not rinse) and transfer to a blender(a food processor or immersion blender could blend the ingredients equally well) with 200ml water (now you can add sugar if using to speed up the fermentation process).Blend until you get a very smooth texture.
Pour the batter into a clean bowl, cover and leave it to ferment in a warm place for 12 to 24 hours .The fermentation process can produce a scent that may be a bit funky, this is normal.
Add salt and seeds, mix it and pour the fermented buckwheat dough into the lined parchment paper loaf pan 9x5.
Bake the bread for 90 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Note: the crust will be done before the inside of the loaf is set - it will look deliciously golden brown after the first 45 minutes, but the inside will still be sticky and wet, so keep baking).
Cool the bread to room temperature before slicing and serving!
