The base flour of this bread is buckwheat which is gluten free and not in the wheat family contrary to its name. Buckwheat is super nutritious and nutrient dense. It aids in weight loss since it is low calorie and high fiber. Buckwheat is also good for managing diabetes, lowering blood pressure and good for heart health. Quick bread is a no fuss easy way to make bread. There’s no yeast so you don’t have to wait for dough to rise. The baking soda and baking powder help it to rise quickly in the oven. Simply stir and bake. I do recommend waiting about 20 minutes for the dry and wet ingredients to mesh before baking when working with gluten free flours.
