Bread made from 100% buckwheat flour offers many nutritional benefits for people focusing on balanced blood sugar, gut health, and gluten-free eating. Thanks to its unique nutritional profile, buckwheat can be a great alternative to traditional wheat-based bread.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, combine the kefir or yogurt with the salt and olive oil. Mix well.
Add the buckwheat flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients and stir with a spoon until fully combined.
If desired, add the seeds and walnuts and mix again.
Using a spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, shaping them into small bread rolls.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, flaxseeds, or any seeds you prefer.
Bake for 10–15 minutes.
Check with a toothpick to make sure the rolls are fully baked.
They are especially delicious served warm, fresh out of the oven.
The rolls can be stored at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Enjoy!
