Description

Ingredients

250g Hulled Buckwheat
100 ml Filtered Water
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp Seeds

Preparation

1
Rinse the buckwheat several times until the water runs clear.
2
Soak the buckwheat for 6 or 7 hours.
3
Drain without rinsing and blend the buckwheat with the water and salt until you obtain a smooth paste.
4
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours, depending on the room temperature.
5
Once the dough has risen and formed small bubbles, transfer it to a loaf tin lined with parchment paper or a sandwich loaf tin (mine is great: it has a lid and nothing sticks). Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds or other toppings. Then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for an hour and a half.
6
After baking, remove the bread and place it on a wire rack. Wait for it to cool before slicing and enjoying.
