Gluten-free buckwheat bread for the crayfish party
For this year’s crayfish party, we dared to try a completely new recipe, namely buckwheat bread. This bread is naturally gluten-free, without eggs and still became just as soft as we wanted it. Yum yum!
Of course, the bread works just as well for breakfast, lunch and dinner as for crayfish and pie. We decided to add ground fennel seeds to the dough, but if you want a more neutral taste, just skip this step.
But how can buckwheat bread be gluten free, maybe you read the name and refer to “wheat”? The name is clearly a bit confusing, but the fact is that buckwheat has nothing to do with ordinary wheat. Buckwheat is an herbaceous plant and not a cereal. Thus, this buckwheat bread is gluten free!
We sliced up half our buckwheat bread and immediately froze it, a good tip if you do not plan to eat it within the next few days!
