I freaking love SCIENCE!! And BIG BANG THEORY reruns 🙂

Just mentioning “Sheldon Cooper” has me chuckling so hard, it hurts.

Chuckles aside, testing this bread recipe proved to be a huge challenge. To start, its no laughing matter when batter goes to waste, sunken bread or failure at proofing bread.

Gah. Science is a huge head scratcher. But as soon as everything comes together as a delicious loaf, its feels as if I’ve solve a mystery in the science world.

With a pat on the back, time to make a snack. Well, you’d need to snack while watching all the reruns, right? 😉

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1.5 cups of whole wheat pasty flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 package (2+1/4 tsp) of dry active yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup buttermilk, warmed
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions:

  1. Sift the flours and salt into a huge bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup of water between 105 to 115F in order to successful proof the yeast. Stir in yeast, sugar and set aside for 5 minutes to allow to bubble.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
  4. Combined proofed years and frothy eggs with warmed buttermilk. Stir to combine.
  5. Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth and thick batter is achieved.
  6. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Transfer the thick bread batter into greased loaf pan. Tap pan to remove any air bubbles. Cover pan with a damp kitchen towel and place the loaf pan in a warm oven to allow batter to rise (double in size) for at least an hour.
  7. Carefully remove proofed bread from the oven. Preheat oven to 350F.
  8. Bake bread batter for 25 minutes. Remove loaf pan from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing loaf from pan to completely cool on a cooling rack.
  9. Slice and store in a cool dry place. This bread has a very short shelf life but freezes beautifully.

I happen to love both the Big Bang Theory & banana bread, so you and I are twin souls in this! Cooking is the best & the tastiest science by far. Love the use of the buckwheat too. Looks delicious as always!

This is just beautiful sandwich bread! Buckwheat flour is what bretons use for savory crêpes so I know how wonderful yet delicate it tastes. Beautiful photos!

Isn’t buckwheat the best :)! Yeah, testing recipes can be challenging but it is so rewarding when they finally work. Your loaf looks amazing and was every bit well worth the effort.
