Equipment
- 9 inch loaf pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups warm water (between 110 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Or simply test it on your wrist to make sure it feels warm but not hot.)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Add 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour, 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
- Add 2 1/2 cups warm water and 1 tablespoon maple syrup, then knead for 1-2 minutes until a thick dough is formed (I like to knead the dough directly inside the bowl to minimize clean up).
- Leave the dough inside the bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a large plate, then leave it at room temperature for 90 minutes to rise (it will only rise slightly, so don’t worry if the rise isn’t very noticeable).
- When the dough has finished rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Don’t knead or punch down the dough at this point—just transfer it to the loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Allow the bread to cool off for at least 1 hour before removing from the pan and serving.
Notes
-
Store this bread for up to three days at room temperature in a resealable plastic bag, airtight container, or bread bag. Or you can freeze it for up to three months. I like to slice it before freezing so I can easily defrost the exact amount I need directly in the toaster.
-
To add an extra layer of flavor to this bread, sprinkle some sesame seeds, caraway seeds, or poppy seeds on top of the loaf before baking.
