Gluten Free Buckwheat bread



About this recipe:
I found this recipe on this fantastic website, its a really great way of baking bread because you don't even need a bread maker! It freezes really well, just slice it before you freeze it.

Preheat the oven  to 375F.

Ingredients:
• 1/2 c. buckwheat flour
• 1/2 c. soy flour
• 1 t. cream of tartar
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. mineral salt
• 1 t. ground ginger
• 1 t. ground cinnamon
• 3/4 c. quinoa flakes
• 1/2 c. whole buckwheat grains, pre soaked 1 -2  hrs
• 3/4 c. sunflower seeds, pre soaked 1 - 2 hrs
• 1.5 c. soy, almond, rice or hemp milk. I use unsweetened almond milk
• canola oil spray for greasing your cake pan

1. Grease a 8 x 8 cake pan with canola oil spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sieve buckwheat flour, soy flour, raising agents, seasoning and spices.
3. Add the quinoa flakes, drained buckwheat grains, sunflower seeds and milk of your choice. It should be of pouring consistency.
4. Poor the mixture in the greased pan.
5. Bake at 375F for about 50 minutes to an hour.
6. Remove from oven, allow to cool. Divide bread into four quarters, focaccia style. Slice each quarter to create a 'sandwich' of two halves, you will have 8 slices in the end. If the inside of your bread is still moist, return the 8 slices to the oven on a cookie sheet, moist side down on the bottom of the oven for another 10 minutes.
7. Store in a bread tin for a few days, in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a couple of months.
