Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Optional: flakey salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly flour.
  • In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, pastry flour, buckwheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a second bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and honey.
  • Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until it comes together. If dough is dry, add a splash of buttermilk. If dough is too wet/sticky, add a little extra all-purpose flour.
  • Transfer to a flour-dusted surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Shape into a 7-inch round and place on the baking sheet. Make an “X” on top of the loaf about one-inch deep. Optional: sprinkle top with flakey sea salt.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until brown. Bread should sound hollow when you tap on it.
  • Allow to cool before eating
