Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g organic raw buckwheat groats
- Pinch of salt
- Water
Instructions
- Wash the buckwheat groats in a colander under running water for a couple of minutes.
- Put the buckwheat in a large glass bowl. Add 2 litres of water and let soak the buckwheat for 12 hours or overnight.
- After 12 hours, drain the water from the buckwheat in a colander. Do not rinse the buckwheat.
- Put the buckwheat in a kitchen blender and add 1 cup of water (250 ml)
- Add a pinch of salt and blend it briefly. You will have a runny yoghurt-like mixture that still has some texture.
- Leave the dough ferment for 24 hours. It will rise to 1.5 times its size.
- Preheat an oven to 200’C (400’F)
- Prepare a tin loaf by greasing it with some olive or coconut oil and transfer the batter into the tin.
- Sprinkled some sunflower and chia seeds on top (optional).
- Bake for 1.5 hours. Once the bread is cool enough to handle, remove it from the bread tin and let cool on a cooling tray completely.
Enjoy!
