Functional Bread

Do you love bread, but are afraid to eat it because most bread is full of gluten, yeast, sugar and dead calories? This amazing ‘functional bread’ is full of goodness. It is more of a supplement than bread and it tastes like European bread too. Feel free to add your own superfood mix to it.

Preparation

Time to prepare:

preparation time 30 minutes (without sourdough prep)

cooking/baking time 60 minutes

Step 1

Feed your buckwheat sourdough slowly till you used the buckwheat flour and water to achieve a healthy 700gr sourdough. Put it in a large bowel.

Step 2

Mix all dry ingredients.

Step 3

Mix all liquid ingredients (eggs, oil, water) together and add to the sourdough

Step 4

Now put the dry ingredients into the sourdough and mix well. Note: this will be a more liquid dough

Step 5

Put the mixture into a bread baking pan lined with baking paper.

Step 6

Bake at 200C for 60 minutes

Step 7

Take it out of the pan and remove the baking paper. Let it cool down before slicing.

The bread can be still slightly moist inside. It depends a little on your sourdough. But that is the beauty about this bread – it is never boring 🙂
