This recipe was customized for a private group class and has since become a favorite grain free bread recipe. It is simple and full of nutrition dense flours. The addition of the sunflower seeds gives the bread a unique texture and the sense of a multigrain bread. Feel free to add sliced almonds or other seeds/nuts. Buckwheat almond bread is perfect for those following a grain free diet or looking for a bread that is low on the glycemic index.
Buckwheat Almond Bread
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds- optional
- 3/4 T unrefined sea salt
- 2 tsp active yeast
- 1 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- Stir yeast into the warm water and let sit for 5 minutes
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and stir in the water and yeast. Add more water if necessary for a dough to form. Gluten free breads have a looser dough than gluten flour breads so do not worry if your dough seems wet. Stir well and let sit for ~1 hour. Bake at 375 for ~40 minutes in a loaf pan. Serve with plenty of grass fed butter.
Excellent bread. Thanks for the recipe. C.D.
