Best gluten-free buckwheat bread

Making gluten-free bread can be so easy! This time I prepared the best gluten-free buckwheat bread, which is soft, fluffy and so delicious. If you love buckwheat, you need to give this bread a try!
Store-bought gluten-free bread can be overpriced, something really dense, so why not bake your own gluten-free bread at home?
When you are making your own bread, you are in control of the ingredients, texture, and even taste!

What is gluten-free bread usually made of?
Gluten-free bread usually doesn’t contain wheat, barley, oat, or other ingredients with gluten.
The bread can be made out of different types of gluten-free flours, such as:
- rice flour
- buckwheat flour
- millet flour
- sorghum flour
- gluten-free flour
These are a few gluten-free flours you can use to make your own bread, but keep in mind, these flours have different structures. So you might need to use them in combinations or with starches!
I love to make my own gluten-free mix with rice flour, buckwheat flour, and oat flour, but in this recipe, I attempted to make a gluten-free bread out of one and only buckwheat flour!
I never tried to make gluten-free bread out of one type of gluten-free flour, because I had a really bad experience. But as I mentioned, every flour is different, and I feel like buckwheat flour works wonderfully in any recipe!

Let’s make this easy gluten-free buckwheat bread!
This recipe is quite easy and simple to make!
You will need:
- buckwheat flour

August 29, 2021Thank you for this recipe. Since going gluten free I haven’t been able to have bread as everyone I’ve tried has been dry. This buckwheat bread is so light and fluffy, thank you! I love having it served warm especially.

April 28, 2022Can the potato starch be replaced?
chrissaysnature

April 28, 2022Hi.i am planning on making your bread recipe..but will it not color too fast when it bakes at 400 for 1 hour?..does the temperature need to be that high for the whole time? Thanks
chrissaysnature
May 1, 2022Hi, every oven is DIFFERENT, but baking it at 400F for 1 hour works for me perfectly. However, If your oven is baking too strong, feel free to lower the temperature to 350F.

June 9, 2022Hello,
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I have a question do you know if I can cut down the quantity of yeast by half and give the bread 2-3 hours rise time instead? I generally find breads too sharp when they have too much yeast and I have been using no knead overnight method to make breads with just a 1/4 tsp of yeast. Would appreciate your reply.
chrissaysnature
June 9, 2022Hi! Yes, you can try to cut down the yeast by half, by adding 1 tbsp of the yeast if you don’t like the taste. And there is no need for extra time to rise the bread. Simply proof the bread for 1 hour and then for 30 minutes before baking. If you would leave the bread proofing for 2-3 hours it may overproof! So 1 hour and 30 minutes are just perfect.
Vandna
June 9, 2022Ok great thank you very much for your reply. I will go with your suggestion.

July 2, 2022I liked the flavor and texture of this bread so much! It was much too soft to be kneaded. Although I tried lol. I created a nice crusty exterior 2 ways: bowl of hot water in oven during baking, and after removing from pan I put the loaf back in the hot oven for 5 minutes.

August 24, 2022Amazing! Thank you for these great tips!

May 20, 2023Hi, I’m trying your bread recipe for the first time today. The dough is really quite wet after letting it prove for the 1 hour. Is this normal?
chrissaysnature
August 31, 2023Yes, this is completely normal 🙂

January 23, 2024This bread looks amazing! I’m going to try making it tomorrow. The psyllium you use, is it whole or powder? I only have powder I’m hoping that will work!
