Crack 2 eggs into a deep mixing bowl. Beat the eggs well with the mixer.
Add olive oil, water, milk, salt and sugar to the mixture and continue mixing.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder through a wire sieve. Gradually add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture to form a runny dough.
As a first step, set your oven to 200 degrees and heat it up.
Line a baking tray with baking paper, transfer the mixture to the tray and spread it on the lowest shelf of the oven.
After half an hour, open the oven door and let the steam escape. Close the cover again.
Cook with the fan on for a total of one hour. Take your baked bread on a clean cloth and let it rest.
Note: Since this dough hardens quickly, it should be given to the oven as soon as it is mixed without waiting. Enjoy your meal!
Benefits of Ingredients in Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread
Keep in mind: You can click on each ingredient to find other recipes that use that ingredient.
Buckwheat:
Buckwheat, a gluten-free pseudocereal, is rich in fiber and minerals like magnesium. Its high content of antioxidants, such as rutin, supports blood sugar balance and contributes to heart health. It aids digestion and provides sustained satiety. Buckwheat pairs wonderfully with mushrooms, onions, leafy greens, legumes, and nuts, offering a nutritious addition to salads and soups.
Rock Salt:
Rock salt is a natural, mineral-rich type of salt. It supports the body's electrolyte balance and aids hydration. Trace minerals such as magnesium and potassium are vital for nerve and muscle functions. It can also help maintain pH balance. Compatible with grilled meats, salads, and vegetables, it's also favored for pickling and brining.
Granulated Sugar:
Granulated sugar is one of the body's primary energy sources. It provides rapid glucose for the brain and muscles, meeting immediate energy demands. It can quickly help stabilize energy levels after intense physical activity or when feeling fatigued. Additionally, it may contribute to short-term serotonin release, which can improve mood. It is commonly used as a flavor balancer in numerous recipes, including coffee, tea, desserts, and fruit salads.
Baking Powder:
Baking powder is a leavening agent typically composed of sodium bicarbonate and an acid, giving baked goods their rise. While it offers no direct nutritional benefits, its sodium bicarbonate content can provide temporary relief from heartburn and indigestion, and even support oral hygiene as a gargle. However, excessive consumption leads to high sodium intake. It pairs wonderfully with flour, sugar, dairy products, eggs, and fruits; it's indispensable in cakes, cookies, and bread.
Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Milk:
Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases. It supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
