--------------------------------- RECIPE -----------------------------------
✨Ingredients✨
2 + 2/3 cups (375 g) buckwheat flour
1 ⅓ cups (160 g) corn starch
¼ cups (41 g) powdered psyllium husk
4 tbsp (60 g) cane sugar
1 ½ tsp (10 g) salt
2 ¼ tsp (7 g) Instant Yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil + more for oiling the bowl
2 ¼ cups (550 g) warm water
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (pumpkin seeds, walnuts)
👩‍🍳Instructions:
✅Combine well the buckwheat flour, corn starch, powdered psyllium husk, instant yeast, cane sugar, and salt. Whisk about 2 minutes.
✅Add the warm water. Stir with a spatula until everything is mixed. All dry ingredients absorb water, and the mixture becomes thick
✅Pour 2 tbsp olive oil on top of the dough and knead to combine oil and dough.
✅Add sunflower seeds.
✅Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and onto a floured surface and form the dough into a round loaf.
✅ Place on to parchment lined baking sheet.
✅Cover with a clean kitchen towel and rise for 1 hour.
✅Then make three or four 1/2” deep slashes in loaf; these slashes will help the bread rise evenly as it bakes.
🔥 Preheat oven to 205 C (400 F). When the loaf is finished rising, bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches over 202 degrees (F) OR the crust is brown and a loaf sounds hollow to the touch when you tap it on the top.
✅ Allow to cool completely.
❗️Measurements Note: All recipes have been developed using weight measurements. Although US volume measurements have been included for your convenience, it is highly encouraged that you weigh your ingredients using a kitchen scale to get the best possible results. Due to the sensitive nature of baking, kitchen scales are proven to yield more accurate and consistent results than measuring cups. Enjoy!

I have tried many, many, many gluten free bread recipes and this is by far the best one. Thank you so much.

[@christinegitsham5809]

Hi Natalia, I made this today, I very pleased with the result, thank you so much.👍👍👍

[@ChristianLove7]

I am gluten sensitive and I was tired of purchasing expensive gluten free store brought bread. I tried this recipe and by the time I finished the loaf I was in love with it. In fact, I toasted a slice for my husband and now he''s asking for more! Thank you!!!

[@SophiaP]

Fantastic recipe, I've tried it a few times already. Comes out perfectly. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@legalitetongue3276]

This is my favourite recipe. Thanks to you (and my organic corner shop), I am no longer buying bread. Every Sunday, I bake this bread for the week. I am going to check your other bread recipes. Bless you exponentially! :).

[@foodmetrica]

I‘m so glad you like it ❤

[@-msc823]

Do you store it in the fridge foe the week?

[@LivingRadiant]

[@mahamhameed5686]

This recipe is amazing! And so simple. Thank you!

[@royguadalupe7521]

I've just made it. 🙂 It's perfect, Thank you! btw: I used a a bread maker in the "bread without gluten" program 1kg., I've just add al the ingredients and wait. No problems at all. Myabe I'll add little more of salt. But that depends on each one taste. It's a beautiful starting point for start/learning cooking home made free gluten bread 🙂. Greetings from Canary Islands.

❤❤❤ Can we use potatoes starch instead of corn starch I also started using Arrowroot starch even healthier I want to experiment today on adding Xanthan gum + 1 egg I will share the results

[@suzananda]

Hi, cab we know your resultd please ? Thank you for sharing 😊

[@XSD.1.]

How was your arrowroot version of the bread?

[@lucdrouin2625]

Hello from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!

[@foodmetrica]

Hi!

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Making this at the moment and I am going by weights. I noticed that a measured 1/4 cup of my psyllium weighed only 24g, so I added more to equal the given psyllium quantity's weight of 41g, which turns out was equivalent to a scant half cup of psyllium husk. I know that the recipe recommended using ingredient weights for best results, and if I had only measured 1/4 cup of psyllium, husk, perhaps the dough wouldn't have been cohesive enough to hold a nice round shape. Anyway, I will proceed with the recipe again and let you know how it turns out. ☺️

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Yes, the bread turned out great. It must be super high in fiber. I followed all the ingredients by weight, except for the water and buckwheat flour. Those two I just went by volume measurement. Next time I will weigh the flour just to see how close the weight is to the volume. Great balanced flavor exactly as written. The raw sunflower seeds get nice and toasty even on the inside and compliment the buckwheat so much! Thanks for this recipe. It's really simple.

[@TastyCookKitchenTV]

The texture looks very interesting, love it

[@am1156]

Can I use potato starch instead of corn starch? Or maybe soething else? This bread looks amazing!

[@rabiatoklu8830]

Harikaaa olduu denedimmm çoook teşekkürlerrr😍😍😍🫶🏼🌸💖💐

[@foodmetrica]

Thank you!

[@nicki419]

Hi, I really love this bread and I want to bake it for my mother. I would have to send it by mail though which would take two days. If I put it in a plastic bread and seal that airtight, how long can I leave it like this before it becomes too hard? Edit: also, could I cook it in a pot for extra crunchy crust?

[@user-xb6bo3id7h]

Спасибо за рецепт. Скажите, чем можно заменить шелуху подорожника? Отруби не подойдут? Елена.

[@jennyhalman9538]

Do you have to add cornstarch?

[@NessaNZ]

Can you make in loaf tin? Size?

[@jennyreif1108]

What did you sprinkle the board with?

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Looks like more buckwheat flour to me.

[@pradhumprasad8570]

Can we use dry active yeast instead of instant yeast same quantity is tobe used please help

[@katmcelwee1145]

I'm allergic to corn. Could I use tapioca starch or arrowroot starch in its place?

[@SarahMfalcon]

Can this be made without corn starch? If yes what could be substituted. Pls

[@christinegitsham5809]

Hello from England, this bread looks like a lovely healthy recipe, can I ask if tapioca flour may be used instead of cornstarch? Only I have plenty of that in my cupboard. Thank you for this recipe. Blessings💝🇬🇧👍🏼🙂

[@foodmetrica]

Hi, Christine! Thank you! Of sure you can use tapioca flour instead.

[@christinegitsham5809]

@@foodmetrica thank you for replying.❤️

[@zvezdoblyat]

I really hope you meant tapioca FLOUR not starch because that would leave you with gummy bread

[@tafflewaffle5925]

can we skip the sugar totally?

[@XSD.1.]

Hi I am impressed with that lovely looking bread. But would it be possible to substitute psyllium husk by flax seed meal! ? I have difficulty with the tast of psyllium...Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@2be8way]

Can I replace cornstarch with corn flour?

[@-msc823]

For how many days can I eat it? Do I have to store in the fridge?

[@liseforgues5575]

Peut on remplacer fécule de mais par fécule darrow-root ? Merci

[@antoniaperlacia795]

is it possible to share the brand of buckwheat flour you used?

[@fionaperry6087]

Looks very nice - can you freeze the bread?

[@foodmetrica]

of sure )slice it, then freeze

[@fevkin]

Lovely video. Is it necessary to add a sweetener?

[@Rita-vn4tk]

I think the sugar helps the yeast to do its job.

[@jasminerollins3930]

Can I substitute with honey instead? My son has a cane sugar intolerance.

[@user-ce9xe1qe8i]

This looks amazing and I can't wait to try it, do you know how many carbs it would have roughly?

[@draganangela6614]

Reteta va rog mult

[@roshni6928]

Thank You for sharing the wonderful recipe, can this be made without yeast?

[@EvaK7]

💕

[@Browngeezer]

Will it still work without the psyllium husk powder

[@jennyreif1108]

No., the psyllium replaces the missing gluten.

[@fatimachaban6623]

😋👍🌸🌺🥰

[@mbach003]

Why do u use psyllium husk? And do u need it?

[@ritaquinn9258]

Yea it's to stop it from breaking up when cutting

[@Pimpjit85]

Binding agent

[@chris210352]

Husband is also sensitive to corn starch. What can I use instead? Rice flour?

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Maybe arrowroot flour?

[@-msc823]

Tapioca flour

[@carmenng7774]

why corn starch and cane sugar..... =(

[@eisenj21188]

Is the sugar a Must?

[@corinnebonafino5211]

The sugar feeds the yeast. I just found this recipe and plan to make this. I will experiment with using less sugar myself after the first time I try it the way it is listed here. Good luck!

[@TheBandoury]

@@corinnebonafino5211 have you tried it with less sugar? if so how was it? If not, is it sweet? thx

[@marymorris9780]

What is the purpose of the oil in this recipe?

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Probably to retain bread moisture longer vice staling sooner.

[@rockinblue978]

60g of sugar seems an awful lot. Could this be reduced or even omitted?

[@user-cj7hm9tq6n]

Can the sugar be omitted totally.

[@jennyreif1108]

No. The sugar is the food for the yeast.

[@user-cj7hm9tq6n]

I am looking for bread safe for diabetics, and this uses lots of sugar and starch. 😮 I wonder how healthy it actually is.

[@lisaheck8097]

Look up the "redline challenge" for diabetes dietary help

[@assinoname3608]

👊🏻

[@user-mn2rz1pr4r]

Corn starch & sugar ??? REALLY ????

[@menace46]

I can't see why it's "super healthy" when it contains so much sugar

[@Joejoe-dk7ri]

If i going to put sugar what is the points making buckwheat bread. It white bread.. useless

[@Frunir]

How can this be healthy when you have suger in it? ....

[@BenRebekah]

Cane sugar is not healthy.

[@niluferermete1934]

adding corn starch ruins the health benefits of buckwheat bread!

[@user-pk5my6he3c]

This was the most disappointing loaf of bread I have ever made! It had no flavor and the worst thing about it was it turned green! I followed the directions perfectly. Save yourself some disappointment and pass this one up

[@bn294]

How did it turn green??
