GLUTEN-FREE & EASY BUCKWHEAT BREAD

DIFFICULTY- MEDIUM PREP TIME: 10 MIN COOK TIME: 70 MIN TOTAL TIME: 80MIN

Nothing beats a slice of freshly baked homemade bread for a quick lunch or dinner nibble since it’s always perfect. This recipe for buckwheat bread is one of my all-time favorites! It’s simple to make and freezes well. The only disadvantage is that it takes a little longer in the oven because it has a different texture than conventional flour.

Buckwheat is a highly nutritious whole grain that is gluten-free by nature and high in fiber, protein, and energy. Others consider it a superfood because of its multiple health benefits, including enhanced blood sugar control and heart health. It also helps with weight loss because it keeps you fuller for longer.
