Gluten free buckwheat bread

For those who are gluten intolerant, are on an anti-candida diet or just want to try a different type of bread this is my go to carb.



This is a recipe I've adapted from a forum about candida.

 When the bread gets stale they make delicious croutons.The basic recipe is as follows;

Ingredients:

3 cups buckwheat flour (don't use Bob's Mill brand or it will be very dark)
3 x Organic Free Range Eggs OR 3 x Tbs flaxseed mixed with 9xTbs water
1 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt 
2 Tbsp Olive Oil or Rice bran oil 
1.5 cups water 
1 Tsp baking soda (check the ingredients for no added nasties)
1 x sprig of rosemary (optional)
1 x minced garlic clove (optional)

Directions:
  1. Line bread tin with grease proof paper (you can add butter to the tin to make paper stay better)
  2. In a bowl sift in buckwheat
  3. Add salt, oil, eggs and baking soda
  4. Drizzle in 1.5 cups water as you don't want to put too much but it is a wet dough
  5. Let it rest for in a warm area for an hour before baking, it can turn out without resting but do this at your own risk
  6. Bake for 5o minutes in a moderate oven (around 180 degrees celcius), it may take less time the hint is when you start getting the nice smell of baked bread it is done. You can check by putting a skewer in the middle to test it, if it comes out clean it's done
  7. Let cool for 10 mins, then take out of the tin and let it cool on a wire rack
Optional: Put loads of nice spices in it like rosemary and thyme and garlic after Step 4 to give it flavour or have it plain and use it as toast and put a variety of spread on it

  1. Buckwheat flour is my fav bread flour. i use your recipe weekly. i make a few modifications to it. i use Trader Joe's org vegetable broth instead of water. I grind my own buckwheat groats into a course flour . my buckwheat groats come from a farm in Illinois . I also add org blackstrap mollases to give it that dark sweet flavor.
