Buckwheat Seed Bread Recipe. Gluten-Free

Buckwheat Seed Bread

Nut Seed Bread

Buckwheat Seed Bread. You will be amazed at the results I get with this recipe, looking and tasting like a full-on wheat-based bread, while entirely gluten-free. And don’t even get me started on the nutritional value (including it in the recipe!) Crusty exterior, moist supple and bouncy crumb. My buckwheat seed bread is a close cousin of my  completely grain-free Nut seed bread. Both are wonderful and super nutritious. The difference is, this one does have a grain base, and is still totally gluten-free. I promise you will never see any difference in your sandwiches if you make them with this bread, but you will see a huge nutritional boost and a much more gut-friendly response.

Anthony Buckwheat Flour

 

I use Anthony Brand Buckwheat Flour: Anthony is one of my favorite flour and all grain brands, bless their hearts: they understand grains and flours perfectly. Their buckwheat flour is as fine as regular wheat flour, and ideally golden-colored; none of the objectionable dark and muddy color we often associate buckwheat flour with, and wonderful mild flour flavor just as if it were regular grain flour. Use it to make delicious buckwheat muffins and pancakes too! Your kids will thank you!

More Crust Less Crumb

Baguette baking tray

 

More crust less crumb is and will always be my preference when it comes to bread. Born and raised in Morocco, honorary Frenchie, so what do you expect? This is why I always make my bread rolls in this baguette baking tray, baguette-shaped and ll-perforated for maximum crustiness. Needless to add, I highly recommend getting a couple of these trays. Having said this, it goes without saying that if what you prefer is a Pullman-style crumb bread, you can use a pullman bread loaf (see top picture)

Buckwheat Seed Bread Freezes Beautifully!

Seal perfectly in ziplock bags, making sure you squeeze out all the air from the bags before zipping them, to prevent freezer moisture from sneaking in. Take them out as needed, (if you made pullman loaves, slice them first before freezing), and eat them at room temperature, or toasted, as is or with your favorite topping and spreads.

Ingredients

Yields 30 mini baguette rolls or round flat rolls, or 2 pullman bread loaves.

Just because I got such perfect results with this ingredient combo, I will leave it as is for now. All ingredients are easily accessible online and in health food stores.

Dry Ingredients

  • * 3 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
  • * 1 cup lupini flour
  • * 1 cup pumpkin seed meal
  • * 1 cup sunflower seed meal
  • * 3 cups GERBS seed mix or any seed combination you want
  • * 1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts oil other nuts (nut-free: use 4 1/2 cups total seeds)
  • * 3/4 cup tapioca starch
  • * 3/4 cup psyllium husk powder
  • * 1 1/2 envelopes instant yeast
  • * 1 1/2 tablespoons salt

Wet Ingredients

  • * 6 cups warm water
  • * 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • * 1/4 olive oil
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.

Mix all the wet ingredients thoroughly in another bowl.

Mix both mixtures thoroughly but briefly, just long enough to combine

Transfer the dough onto the counter, and knead just a minute or two for a perfectly smooth dough.

Shape 3o mini baguette rolls or small round flat rolls, or a combination, or 2 medium bread loaves. Slash the baguette tops 2-3 times on a bias with a very sharp knife

Let the rolls rest about 1 hour to 90 minutes, but no longer. Do not skip this step, as it is essential for the psyllium to absorb the liquids before baking.

Preheat the oven to 475*F
Place a container hot water in the bottom of the oven to release maximum steam during baking for very crusty rolls.
Bake 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 400*F, and bake 15 more minutes.
