Is buckwheat gluten-free and safe for celiacs?

Yes, buckwheat is gluten-free. Buckwheat, also called beech wheat or kasha, does not contain any wheat or gluten.

Despite the name, buckwheat is not closely related to wheat—buckwheat isn’t even a grain. Instead, buckwheat is a flowering plant related to leafy vegetables like rhubarb and sorrel. The name buckwheat comes from the resemblance of its small, triangular seeds to larger beech tree seeds.

Make sure to use hulled buckwheat or buckwheat groats in this recipe and not buckwheat flour. If you are not familiar with buckwheat groats or have no clue where to find it in the store, keep reading. Buckwheat groats are a gluten-free whole grain that is often used to make hot cereal. So look for buckwheat groats in the cereal section near the oatmeal. Some stores may have this grain in the gluten-free section. You can always purchase buckwheat groats on Amazon.

Plan ahead

While this gluten-free bread recipe is easy to make, you will need to soak the buckwheat for several hours. I like to soak my buckwheat overnight and start making the bread in the morning. Then the bread batter will have to ferment for several hours.

Steps to make the bread

1. Rinse the buckwheat ~ To remove any residue

2. Soak the buckwheat ~ Place in a bowl with water, cover, and place in the fridge for 12 -24 hours

3. Drain ~ Do not rinse ~ the goo in the water is needed for the success of this bread

4. Process the buckwheat ~ Add salt and water to make the bread batter

5. Let the batter sit ~ This will take another 12 -24 hours

6. Bake the bread

7. Slather on the vegan butter and enjoy!

Amazing texture

If you like bread with texture, you will love this bread. This is a dense chewy bread that will remind you of whole-grain bread with nuts and seeds. This bread is great for toasting and avocado toast. If you love seeds in your bread, you are going to love this bread.

Add toppings

To make this bread even more amazing, sprinkle some seeds on top of the bread before baking. Don't go overboard on the seeds, as too many seeds may weigh your batter down and it may not bake properly.

Some seed options include:

- Sunflower Seeds

- Pumpkin Seeds

-Chia Seeds

- Sesame Seeds

- Flax Seeds

- Poppy Seeds
