Buckwheat Corn Bread Recipes

BUCKWHEAT AND CORN BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the rice milk and cider vinegar and set aside.
• Combine the warm water, maple syrup, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (not bread hook). Use a wooden spoon or whisk to mix well. Make sure the yeast is completely dissolved.
• Heat the rice milk mixture to 110° to 115°F, add the canola oil, and then add to the yeast mixture, stirring well to combine.
• Whisk together the flour mix, buckwheat flour, cornmeal, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and caraway seeds.
• Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture in two batches, mixing well on medium speed for about 1 minute, or until the dough is fully combined.
• Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan liberally with baking spray, or grease with vegetable shortening or canola oil.
• Use a rubber spatula to turn the dough out onto a well-floured board (add a little cornmeal, too), flour your hands well, and pat the dough into a disk 7 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches thick. Flip, and then pat into a rectangle about 11 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Roll up, starting from the longer edge, and seal the seam tightly, pressing down lightly to press out any trapped air pockets. Make sure the seam is on the bottom. Tuck both ends of the loaf under (against the seam), so the dough will fit in the loaf pan. Transfer to the loaf pan. Spray the top of loaf liberally with baking spray (or brush with 1 tablespoon melted vegetable shortening or canola oil). Cover with a folded clean dish towel or cloth napkin. Place the loaf pan in a dishpan and pour hot water to come two-thirds up the sides (or just fill your kitchen sink basin). Be sure to fold your cloth so it's not dragging in the water. Let the loaf rise for 1 hour. I generally replace the hot water with new hot water after the first 30 minutes. Check it periodically to make sure it's still quite warm.
• After the dough has risen for 1 hour and has about doubled in size, place the loaf in a cold oven. Set the temperature to 400°F and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for 35 minutes longer, or until the loaf is deeply browned on top. Transfer to a cooling rack, turn out of the pan, and let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

BUCKWHEAT CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13" pan with butter or coconut oil.
• In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, buckwheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil or applesauce, milk, and honey. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until no dry spots appear (batter will be thin).
• Pour into prepared 9x13" pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy!

BUCKWHEAT CORNCAKES

Steps:

• Mix buckwheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, maple syrup, vinegar, and milk. Add flour mixture, stirring just enough to remove any lumps and make a pourable batter. Add a bit more milk if batter seems too thick.
• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle, then spray lightly with vegetable oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated surface and cook until tops bubble. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook the second sides until browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
