Ingredients:

1.5 – 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
200 ml water
salt
I had a craving for some buckwheat bread, but I was feeling too lazy to go out. So I decided to bake some, but I didn’t have any buckwheat flour on hand. While searching for a recipe, I read that you can grind buckwheat into flour, although it will be coarser.
Combine the buckwheat flour with the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Pour in the water, mix everything together, and leave the dough at room temperature overnight.
In the morning, add the remaining flour and let the dough rise in a warm place for 40 minutes. Knead the dough and shape it into two smaller baguettes or one large one.
Dust a baking sheet with flour, form the baguettes, and give them a little twist. Make slashes on top with a sharp knife and let the baguettes rest for another 15 minutes to rise a bit more.
Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) and bake the baguettes for 20 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature and bake them for another 10 minutes.
Once baked, cover the bread with a clean towel for a few minutes. The freshly baked baguette pairs wonderfully with homemade butter and a cup of freshly brewed coffee!
