Of all the baked goods that one could possibly make, my heart belongs firmly to homemade bread. Whether quick breads or yeasted breads, it doesn’t really matter. Whether made in a loaf pan or freeform artisan bread doesn’t really matter either.

And it seems that you guys share my love of gluten-free bread recipes of all kind. From feedback on my quick breads leavened with baking powder such as my easy honey oat bread, this low carb almond flour bread, and my coconut flaxseed bread, to yeast-leavened breads such as our favorite soft and fluffy gluten-free bread, tender dinner rolls or rosemary focaccia bread, I know just how much you all love bread too.

Baking yeast breads in particular has become a form of therapy. I just love the thrill of mixing the dough together, watching it rise as it doubles in size, then sending it off to the oven to bake. When I pull open the oven door, and the warmth of the oven and aroma of freshly baked bread hits me in the face, I feel like I’ve got a glimpse of bread heaven.

If you’ve never cooked with buckwheat before, it’s basically a highly-nutritous grain-like seed that’s a psuedocereal and totally gluten-free, despite the word “wheat” in its name.

Soft, Fluffy Buckwheat Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)

If you’re up to it, have 5 minutes to spare and a high-speed blender on hand, I’ve got a quick tutorial for homemade buckwheat flour to get your started!

Our easy buckwheat cookies have been hugely popular on the blog, and I thought that it was high time to make a loaf of buckwheat bread.

Many buckwheat flour bread recipes tend to turn out dry and dense, and I was set on developing a gluten-free brown bread recipe that resembled whole wheat bread in appearance and taste. I also wanted to make sure that it was also soft and fluffy – everything a good loaf of gluten-free bread should be.

Grease a 9″x4″ nonstick metal loaf pan with oil and preheat the oven to 350F. Arrange the oven rack to the middle position.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if using), buckwheat flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, instant yeast, and sugar together.

Add the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, warm water, and mix well until combined. Next, add the beaten eggs and mix for another minute until you get a dough that resembles thick cake batter (the dough will be sticky and wet, but that’s perfectly fine).

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise for the next 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free place until it has roughly doubled in size.

Let the buckwheat bread cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan, before removing and cooling fully on a wire rack.

To store the bread, place the cooled loaf in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Gluten Free Fermented Buckwheat Bread

Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: I highly recommend that you use a good quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that is made of lighter flours and starches such as rice flour, corn starch, or tapioca starch and that includes xanthan gum. I do NOT recommend using flour blends that include heavier flours such as garbanzo bean flour which tend to result in a denser final texture.

Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum acts as a replacement for gluten in many gluten-free recipes, and is necessary for binding the ingredients together. If your gluten-free flour blend does not include it, make sure you add this in.

Buckwheat Flour: Since this is a buckwheat bread recipe, buckwheat flour is essential. You can either make your own 5-minute homemade buckwheat flour, or buy it online. If you would like to make this bread with another type of whole grain flour such as millet flour, amaranth flour, or quinoa flour, feel free to replace the buckwheat flour in a 1:1 ratio of the flour you wish to replace it with.

Everyday Low Carb Bread Recipe

Psyllium Husk Powder: In this recipe, the psyllium husk powder helps to better bind the ingredients as well as give the bread a whole wheat flavor. I do NOT recommend that you swap out the psyllium husk powder with any other ingredient.

Apple Cider Vinegar: The apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking powder in this recipe to help the bread rise even more. If you don’t have ACV on hand, you can also use white vinegar or wine vinegar in equal quantities.

Buckwheat

Warm Water: I use water in this case because I find it easiest. But you can also use warm non-dairy milk such as almond milk or cashew milk if you want to add more flavor. If you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use warm dairy milk instead. Make sure that the temperature is between 105 – 110F (the yeast requires the warmth to be activated, but if the liquid is too hot it may kill the yeast).

Healthy Buckwheat Banana Bread

Eggs: Eggs give the bread more rise and taste. I personally haven’t tried making this bread with an egg-replacer, so I don’t know how that will go. However, if you do try it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing into it as the bread will continue cooking with the residual heat in the loaf even after you remove it from the oven. When the bread is just baked, the crust will be hard, but after cooling down, it will be soft and easy to slice into.

Use a Serrated Knife: Make sure you use a serrated bread knife with ridged edges to slice the bread as a smooth-edged knife will cause the bread to be flattened.

Storing/Freezing: To store the bread, place the cooled loaf in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. To freeze, let the loaf cool completely and then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Before using, let the loaf thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and toasting.
