Hi. I have this book. Made country batard and buckwheat round. Horrible. Not edible. Could not cut it with an axe. Inside thin and gummy. Read and re-read book. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Loretta

Try the 100% buckwheat bread I just posted today. This recipe was used many times, so it gives a good result.

Happy baking, Joze
.. that the gummy crumb comes from under-fermented / proofed dough. Personally I'm finding buckwheat a particular taste and (for me) think it's better in waffles or crapes! .. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I saw your buckwheat recipe but I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to make yeast water and the steps to make it. I would love to make a loaf like yours but need instructions more simply and specifically stated
. please help. Thanks. Loretta
Hi. I saw your beautiful buckwheat bread but I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to make yeast water and the steps to make it. I need more specifically and basically listed steps for the recipe if you would help me please. I tried to reply to you yesterday but all my messages appear sent then the are returned as undeliverable. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I received messages from you and Floyd and someone sent me a link today but it times out and won't open. Very frustrating. Loretta
Hi!
Here is the recipe for raisin yeast water.
http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/23809/how-i-make-and-maintain-raisin-yeast-water
You can use almost any fruit - I found pears as very good - you just slice it and put in a jar/bottle, add water up to 2/3 of the bottle/jar and add about 50g of brown sugar or honey. Shake it well several times per day and open the lid and close it to degas, this will be necessarry especially after day 2 when the fermentation will become stronger. You can get a YW active in 3-4 days if you put it in a warm place. There are many videos on youtube about making YW as well.
Hope this will help you. Happy baking,
Joze
