Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat bread? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use ready-made buckwheat flour or grind it yourself in a buckwheat coffee grinder.

Step 2

Step 2
Dissolve sugar in warm water heated to 37-40°C. Add dry yeast and leave in a warm place for 10 minutes until a fluffy cap appears on the surface.

Step 3

Step 3
If the cap still does not appear, then either the yeast is spoiled or the water is overheated and the dough will not rise.

Step 4

Step 4
Fry buckwheat, stirring, in a dry frying pan until a bright aroma appears.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the buckwheat in a bowl and cool.

Step 6

Step 6
Grind the buckwheat in parts in a coffee grinder. You can grind the cereal until it becomes a homogeneous flour or leave it in the form of tiny grains. It is important that the grains are not too large, otherwise they will crunch too much and spoil the impression of the bread.

Step 7

Step 7
Sift the wheat flour into a bowl. Add ground buckwheat and salt. Mix everything.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in activated yeast and vegetable oil. Knead the dough thoroughly for about 10 minutes until it almost completely stops sticking to your hands. Add a little more flour if necessary.

Step 9

Step 9
Form the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

Step 10

Step 10
The dough rises quite strongly and becomes fluffy.

Step 11

Step 11
Knead the dough and stretch it in different directions. Fold the two sides overlapping each other. In the same way, pull the dough in the other two directions and also fold in the other direction.

Step 12

Step 12
Form the dough into the desired shape.

Step 13

Step 13
I simply placed the dough into a long floured rectangular baking pan. Dust the top of the dough with flour.

Step 14

Step 14
Cover the mold with a napkin and leave to rise for 25-30 minutes.

Step 15

Step 15
If desired, you can use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts on the surface of the bread.

Step 16

Step 16
Preheat the oven to 200°C and place a baking tray with water on the bottom. Bake the bread for 25 minutes at 200°C. Then reduce the temperature to 180°C, cover the pan with a sheet of foil and bake for about 20 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. The bread should have a light golden brown crust. Remove the finished bread from the mold and cool on a wire rack before serving. Bon appetit!
