How to Make Fermented Buckwheat Bread

Step 1: Soak the Buckwheat Groats

  1. Rinse the buckwheat groats well under running water.
  2. Place them in a large bowl and cover with 2 cups of water.
  3. Let them soak for 12-24 hours at room temperature.

⏳ Tip: The groats will absorb water and become soft and slightly gelatinous—this is normal!

Step 2: Blend into a Batter

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked buckwheat (do not over-rinse; a little sliminess helps with fermentation).
  2. Transfer to a blender or food processor.
  3. Add ½ to ¾ cup of fresh water and blend until you get a thick, smooth batter.
  4. Pour the batter into a clean glass or ceramic bowl.

Step 3: Ferment the Batter

  1. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plate (do not seal it tightly).
  2. Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours to ferment.
  3. The batter should bubble slightly and have a mild tangy smell—this means it’s ready!

🌡️ Note: Fermentation time may vary depending on your kitchen’s temperature. A warm kitchen will speed up the process.

Step 4: Bake the Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Stir in the salt (if using) and pour the batter into the pan.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

How to Store & Serve

🧊 Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 7 days.
❄️ Freezing: Slice and freeze for up to 3 months. Toast slices straight from the freezer.
🥑 Serving Ideas: Enjoy with avocado, nut butter, hummus, or as a base for sandwiches!
