Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 105-110F)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together buckwheat flour, tapioca flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt.
  3. Add warm water, oil, and maple syrup (if using). Stir until just combined. The batter will be thick and sticky. Cover the bowl and let it rest for about 1 hour.
  4. Transfer the thick batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top. Let it rest for another 30-60 minutes until risen by about 50%.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is dark brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

- Ensure your water is warm (105-110F) to properly activate the yeast.
- Don't skip the resting times; they are crucial for texture development.
- For a deeper flavor, you can add seeds like sunflower or pumpkin to the batter.
