What is buckwheat bread?
Buckwheat is neither grass nor grain and is naturally fiber-rich and gluten-free. Putting aside all the amazing health benefits of eating this wholesome loaf, buckwheat bread has a complex nutty flavor unlike any other bread—particularly of the gluten-free variety. Chia seeds are a super-food and we use them to bind the bread instead of eggs, giving it the added bonus of being vegan, and oat milk replaces water to give it an extra rich flavor. This bread is best served warm with its golden-brown crust and chewy tender middle. But, it also freezes up nicely and can be used for next week’s sandwiches and toast.
In a large mixing bowl let the chia seeds step into the 1 cup water for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then, in another bowl mix the water, oil, flour, baking powder, salt, and chia seed mixture.
Mix everything until combined and transfer to an 8-inch baking loaf pan well greased with oil.
Bake in an already heated oven at 350 F or 180 C degrees for about 50-60 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean.
Serve and enjoy.
