This bread takes some time, but the hands on portion is maybe around 10-15 minutes. Everything else is just letting the fermentation process work it’s magic!

Step 1:
Add 500 grams of raw buckwheat groats to a glass or ceramic bowl. Cover with 600ml of filtered water. Stir and cover with a plate or tea towel and leave on the countertop for 12-24 hours.

I use this brand of organic buckwheat that comes in 500g packages:

Step 2:
After 12-24 hours, the groats will have absorbed all the water. They will be slimy (this is good! Do NOT rinse!) and may or may not have sprouted (don’t worry if they have or haven’t – the bread will turn out great either way). Into the same bowl, add 150ml filtered water, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of honey. Use an immersion blender to blend everything together. You may also dump everything into a food processor, then return to the same bowl. Cover, and let sit for another 24 hours on the counter.

Step 3:
After 24 hours, the batter will be frothing, foaming and bubbling. Some spots more than others. It will smell a bit (or a lot) funky. This is good news! Now is the time to add in any flavourings you’d like. You can keep it plain (delicious), or you can try adding hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds or flax. I love making an everything bagel version (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, granulated onion and garlic). You could also try cinnamon raisin or herb and garlic (granulated garlic, dried dill, dried parsley, dried coriander). The possibilities are endless, and there’s no need to measure your add ins – use as much or as little as you want!)

Gently mix in your add-ins, then transfer to a greased and lined loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 50-90 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan, then slice, TOAST, and enjoy!
