- Drain and rinse the soaked buckwheat groats thoroughly. In a blender, combine the soaked Buckwheat Groats and Water (125 ml), Sugar (if using). Blend until you get a very smooth texture.
- Pour the batter into a clean bowl, cover and leave it to ferment for 12 to 24 hours. The exact duration can vary based on factors such as ambient temperature and the desired level of fermentation
- Preheat the oven to 395°F (200°C) and line the bread pan with parchment paper. Add Salt and Seeds, mix it (but don't overmix) and pour the fermented buckwheat dough into loaf pan.
- Bake the bread for about 1 hour. Perform the knock test or toothpick test. If your bread needs more baking time based on the knock test, gently remove it from the loaf pan using oven mitts, place the bread directly on the oven rack and bake it 5-10 more minutes.
- Cool the bread to room temperature before slicing and serving!
- A slice of well-fermented buckwheat bread with air bubbles should have a rustic appearance, with a balance between a denser crumb and airy texture. It's a delightful bread option for those looking for a unique flavor profile and wholesome texture.
