I just finished my 2nd slice of this break, and it's delicious. Oddly enough, the smell reminds me of peanut butter, but the taste reminds me a bit of sunflower seeds! I also have to say kudos for the excellent measurement calculator. I'm the only one in the house who eats wheatfree, and while I originally printed a half recipe, I ended up calculating for a 1/3 recipe because I only had 200g of flour. And even though my 1/3 teaspoon measurements were rough estimates, it still came out gorgeous. I can't wait to get more flour to make the half recipe - the measurements are much easier! Thanks so much!

I love this bread, and have made it countless times. Not only is it crispy and has a real depth of flavour, but it can easily be modified by adding some tapioca flour (200g to 400g Buckwheat) I also omit milk, and use all water, which i think makes it lighter, thanks for allowing me to enjoy bread again!

Sorry, this review belongs on the other Brown Soda Bread recipe!

I did make this bread as well and it was delicious.... Unfortunately I discovered that I don't digest Buckwheat well...Even though it is Glluten free.

Made this bread today and it is delicious. I accidentally added Xanthan gum and the texture is really light and easy to cut.Also used half buttermilk.

Thank you for this great recipe.
