Buckwheat and Walnut Bread

Buckwheat and Walnut Bread. Anyone who tries homemade bread for the first time won’t be able to resist it, with its soft crumb wrapped in a crunchy crust that captivates at the first bite.

Dark, with an intense flavor, gluten-free. A good bread, easy to make every week in the cold season. You can slice it and freeze the slices individually, separated by parchment paper.

You can use light buckwheat flour and the bread will rise more, or dark one for a more rustic bread.

The water/flour/psyllium ratio is crucial.

Remember that buckwheat is a pseudo-cereal, meaning it behaves similarly to cereals but is not a grass.

You can pair it with turkey prosciutto, bresaola, chicken, fish, but also fruit jams.

Try it slightly toasted with sesame or almond cream, for a breakfast rich in minerals and healthy fats.

Nutrient-rich: Buckwheat is a significant source of essential nutrients such as proteins, fibers, B vitamins (especially B2 and B3), and minerals like manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus. Gluten-free: Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

It can be used as an alternative in gluten-free diets. Weight control: Thanks to its richness in fibers, buckwheat promotes a sense of satiety, helping to control appetite and maintain a healthy body weight.
