VIDEO: Baking bread without grain
Bread with buckwheat, corn and potatoes
Bake bread without grain seems almost impossible to many people. But there are definitely tasty alternatives.
- Buckwheat is a knotweed plant and - even if the name suggests it - has nothing to do with wheat.
- The taste of the small square seeds is nutty and mild.
- Even people who have to or want to eat gluten-free can enjoy buckwheat without hesitation.
- You can buy buckwheat whole seeds or as buckwheat flour from health food stores or health food stores. There you can also have the seeds ground.
- Corn and potatoes are also definitely suitable for celiac disease, as these products do not contain gluten, a protein that is mainly found in wheat.
- Corn can also be bought ready-made as flour. The grinding of the solid corn kernels requires a powerful grinder.
- Instead of potato flour, you can use potato starch. Or you can mix 2-3 boiled and mashed potatoes into the bread dough. In that case, however, you should reduce the amount of fluid.
- Instead of potato flour, you can also use chickpea flour or chestnut flour (made from chestnuts). Both are types of flour that are great for baking and have a good taste.

Grain-free - instructions for baking
- Mix the buckwheat, corn and potato flour carefully with the baking powder.
- Add the salt and sugar.
- Mix this flour mixture with enough warm buttermilk to make a smooth bread dough. The dough shouldn't be too firm, but also not as runny as a batter. Make sure that the dough does not become crumbly, because then the bread will not bind well - a problem that you always have when baking without wheat.
- Grease a small bread or loaf pan and fill it with the bread dough.
- Preheat the oven to 200 ° C fan-assisted air.
- Then switch the temperature back to 180 ° C and bake the bread for just under an hour.
- Make sure the top doesn't get too dark.
So "without grain" is not a problem. The bread becomes looser and more elastic if you replace the baking powder with a small sachet of dry yeast and then let the bread rise in the loaf pan. In this case, the dough be a little more humid. The yeast can then work better.
