Lunch, Snacks / April 21, 2016

Italian Style Buckwheat Bread

For those going gluten-free, buckwheat is a great alternative. It high in fibre, protein, essential fatty acids and bioavailable vitamins (vitamins B1, C and E) and minerals (zinc, copper and manganese). It is also very easy to use in baking and has a delicious nutty flavour. 

By Skye Gilkeson

This Italian Style Buckwheat Bread is tasty on its own, served with fresh avocado or eggs for breakfast or even as a side with a salad or soup. Substitute a little extra olive oil for the tomato paste and leave out the lemon juice if you want a more diverse, everyday loaf.
