6 Ingredient Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flax Bread Recipe

To make this buckwheat flax bread, you will need only six ingredients, buckwheat, flaxseed, almond flour, olive oil, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder. The only other basic pantry ingredients are salt and water. This is a grain-free, plant-based bread recipe, and takes just minutes to prepare for baking.

Three key ingredients that contribute to the nutritional value of this buckwheat bread

Buckwheat — a naturally gluten-free seed that is not related to wheat in any way. This seed contains manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, niacin, zinc, folate, vitamin B6 and dietary fiber.

Flaxseed — another ingredient in this bread recipe that is considered a superfood. This tiny seed is loaded with nutrients, dietary fiber and contains good quality protein.

Psyllium — comes from the husk of the seed of the Plantago plant and has an array of health benefits. Some studies have shown that adding psyllium to your diet will help with weight loss. When buying psyllium for baking, do not buy the metamucil brand. This brand does not work in this recipe. This is my favourite psyllium husk powder.

Serving suggestions

I love the flavor and texture of this bread. It is firm, and has a slightly crispy crust. It is rich, and hearty and makes satisfying sandwiches.

My favourite way to enjoy this gluten-free bread is with salmon spread, or avocado slices. And pairs well with a delicious stew or hearty soup.

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flax Bread

Published Feb 13, 2021 · Kristina Stosek
Prep Time:
10 min
Cooking Time:
70 min
Serves:
12 slices

Ingredients

1⁄4 cup GF whole flaxseed + 1 Tbsp. For topping
1 cup hot water 
1 1/2 cups (222 g) GF buckwheat flour
1 cup (112 g) blanched almond flour
2 Tbsp. GF Psyllium husk powder
3 tsp. GF baking powder
1 tsp. Sea salt
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix 1/4 cup flaxseeds with 1 cup hot water and set aside for 30 minutes
  2. Preheat oven to 355 F and line an 8 x 3-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. If you are using a wider loaf pan, the bread will be flatter. I highly recommend using the 8 x 3-inch for best results.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together buckwheat flour, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder and salt
  4. Combine flaxseed mixture with 2/3 cup water and 1/4 olive oil. Add to dry ingredients and using a spatula mix until just combined. Do not overmix the bread, or it will become dense and heavy and will not rise well
  5. Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan shaping the dough into a bread loaf with a round top. Do not flatten the top of the loaf, or it will become dense. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flax seeds and lightly press the seeds into the dough
  6. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift using the parchment paper and place on a cooling rack to fully cool before slicing
