Equipment

1 high speed blender
9x5 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

2 cups buckwheat groats raw, hulled
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin optional
⅓ cup water

For soaking

2+½ cups water

For Topping

2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional

Instructions

Rinse buckwheat groats under cold water, then soak in 2½ cups of water for 24 hours.
2 cups buckwheat groats, 2+½ cups water
After soaking, the groats will be soft and slightly gelatinous. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve for 2 minutes (do not rinse), then blend with ⅓ cup water, baking soda, vinegar, salt, and cumin until smooth.
1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, ⅓ cup water, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cover with a dry kitchen towel until completely cool before slicing.

Notes

Use unroasted buckwheat groats with a pale yellow-green color for a mild, smooth flavor and perfect texture.
Blend thoroughly for a consistent, dense loaf.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, slice and freeze for up to 2 months.
