Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cup (220 gram) buckwheat, soaked in water 6 hours or overnight
- 1/4 cup ( 40 grams) chia seeds mixed with 4 tbsp water
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- black pepper, a few dashes
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Soak buckwheat groats overnight in plenty of water or for at least two hours.
- Soak chia seeds in 4 tbsp water for 10 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Drain buckwheat and rinse thoroughly.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until it forms a thick batter. If batter is too thick add extra water.
- Pour buckwheat batter in a medium lined loaf tin (with parchment paper) and bake for 60-75minutes at 180°C / 350°F.
- Bake until just brown on top then remove from the oven, take the bread out of the tin, and return to the oven for another 30 min (this will create a crunchy crust). The bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped
- Place bread on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy fresh or toasted for up to 5 days. Store any slices you will not eat within 5 days in the freezer as they will go stale quickly with no preservatives.
