Description:
Make and share this wholesome Buckwheat Bread recipe from lovewithrecipes.com. Perfectly balanced with the goodness of buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, and buttermilk, this bread promises a delightful combination of flavors and a hearty texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup eggs
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 cups buckwheat flour
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 cups buttermilk (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup salt
- 1 cup caraway seeds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
-
Proof the Yeast:
- In a bowl, combine lukewarm water and sugar. Add yeast, allowing it to proof.
-
Prepare the Yeast Sponge:
- Once the yeast is activated, create a sponge by adding buttermilk, salt, eggs, buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, and caraway seeds. Mix thoroughly.
-
Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
First Rise:
- Place the dough in a large buttered bowl. Cover it with a towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
-
Punch and Shape:
- Once risen, punch down the dough a couple of times. Knead and shape it into a loaf.
-
Second Rise:
- Place the shaped dough in a buttered loaf pan (9″ by 5″). Let it stand in a warm place, covered with a towel, for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat and Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the bread with a little melted butter and bake for about 30 minutes or until light brown. The bread should sound hollow when tapped.
-
Cooling:

Cooking Tips:
For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of honey before baking.
