Today I present to you a special and healthy recipe: gluten-free bread made with pea flour and buckwheat. This combination is perfect for those seeking a tasty and nutritious alternative, without giving up the pleasure of good homemade bread. Pea flour adds protein and a delicate flavor, while buckwheat gives a rustic touch and an inviting color.
To make it even more flavorful and crunchy, I added pumpkin seeds and poppy seeds, which enrich the bread with flavor and nutrients. You can bake the bread in a traditional oven or with an air fryer. The loaf weighs 500 grams.

- Difficulty: Very Easy

- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 17.6 oz
- Cooking methods: Oven, Air Fryer
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pea flour
- 3/5 cup buckwheat flour
- 3/5 cup gluten-free flour mix (or rice flour)
- 1 1/6 cup water (warm)
- 1 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 4/10 oz psyllium husk powder
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 2/5 tbsp olive oil
Steps
Put the warm water with the sugar and dry yeast in a bowl. Stir and let dissolve for about 5 minutes.
Then add the pea flour, buckwheat flour, and gluten-free flour mix or plain rice flour. Add the psyllium husk powder, salt, and sunflower and poppy seeds. Mix the dough well in the bowl with a fork; I do not recommend doing it by hand because it’s very soft.
Let it rest for 5 minutes and finally add the olive oil, incorporating it gently into the dough with your hands, forming a loaf. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour.
After the rising time, turn the dough directly onto the work surface without handling it, shape the loaf into a rectangle, and place it in an oiled rectangular aluminum mold that fits your air fryer. I use those that are 8 inches x 4.7 inches.
With this quantity, you can make 1 loaf of bread about 17.6 oz.
Finally, before baking, brush the surface of the loaf with a light layer of olive oil.
Preheat the air fryer to 392°F for 5 minutes.
Bake the bread and cook at 392°F for 20 minutes. Then turn the bread over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes still at 392°F.
In total, it will take 30 minutes to bake a delicious bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but above all, very tasty.
If you want, you can also freeze it, whole or sliced for ready use
