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:
- Sift the flours and salt into a huge bowl. Set aside.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
- Combined proofed years and frothy eggs with warmed buttermilk. Stir to combine.
- Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth and thick batter is achieved.
- 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.
- Carefully remove proofed bread from the oven. Preheat oven to 350F.
- 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.
- Slice and store in a cool dry place. This bread has a very short shelf life but freezes beautifully.
Have a great and delicious weekend, friends. And good luck in your scientific discoveries 🙂

Thanks Rosa! I’m loving all this different flours out there 🙂
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!

Such a gorgeous load of bread – I haven’t used buckwheat flour before – Iam so intrigued. Next time I am at whole foods I need to see if I can find me some
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!
Wow looks delicious and so perfect. I have buckwheat four so thank you!
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.
