350g Pure New Zealand Buckwheat groats

700 mls Water

3 tspn Salt

1/2-1 cup Flour

Method

Mix 350grams of PureNzBuckwheat groats with 700mls of water in a bowl or pot. Place a loose lid or plate on top of it and let it stand 24-36hours at room temperature whilst occasionally stirring it.

The water will go slimy and bubbles/foam will appear as it starts fermenting.

Break up the groats with a stick blender ( or food processor ) add approx 3 teaspoons of Salt.

To create a thicker batter, add 1/2 to 1 cup of flour, chickpea, buckwheat, teff/millet flour works well.

Just enough so it becomes a thick batter that is still easy to stir with a spoon.

Leave this 8-12 hrs whilst stirring it once or twice.

Then pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 200 C for 20minutes before lowering to 160 C for another hour.

If you don’t eat it all first, this bread is fantastic for freezing!
