Buckwheat, Gluten-Free Bread - GF

This is my favourite bread so far ......

I have made so many different types of Gluten free bread. Ask my family, and what's worst is I make about 3 loaves of each experiment. So then they have to eat it all and then start on my next experiment.

There are so many flour's out there for gluten free breads - tapioca flour, maize flour, coconut flour, almond meal, corn flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, green banana flour (I have never used that one), buckwheat flour and potato starch - the list goes on.

I needed to find a bread with one or two flours in it so it does not become crazy. So here it is, my one flour recipe. Like all gluten-free, bread it is best eaten within the first two days or slice and freeze.

Nutrition - Buckwheat - folate, omega 3 and 6, calcium and high protein.

Buckwheat Gluten Free Bread Recipe

Makes 2 loaves

1 kg buckwheat flour

2 tsp xanthan Gum - GMO Free

4 large eggs - whisk

700 ml warm water

4 tsp dried yeast

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

4 tsp molasses - this gives it a darker colour and a lovely taste  - option

4 tbsp olive oil

Method

1 - Place warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle yeast on top. Leave for 10 mins in a warm place.

2 - In another bowl place eggs, cider vinegar, molasses and olive oil.

3 - Place flour in a large bowl and pour in all the ingredients and mix well. 

4 - Spoon into two lined bread loaf tins. Place in a warm area until it has risen to the edge of the tin.

( I turn the oven on to low to warm up and then turn off. I then place the bread in the oven to rise.)

5 - Bake at 200 c  for 30 minutes.

This mixture is thick and sticky. Let it risen to the top of the tin in a warm area before cooking it.

They do come out with cracks on top. But they taste great.
