Day 93: Buckwheat Bread

Well folks, this new flour worked like a charm and this bread turned out amazing. All of the buckwheat flour I've gotten has been dark gray almost black in color, and so I was super surprised when this bread actually came out brown. The dough was definitely pitch black before I put it into the oven. I still don't know if my old flour was the problem, but I'm going to keep making some test loaves with it. Like I said before, this bread turned out excellent. It's got a nice crust and great flavor. I don't know what the buckwheat added exactly to the loaf, but it still tastes delicious. The original recipe actually makes four smaller loaves in coffee cans, but like I said before, I don't have one, let alone four, coffee cans to bake in. So I modified the recipe and the pans I used to create just one bigger loaf. This was the very last buckwheat bread, and I'm kinda sad I messed up 2/3's of the breads here. We're going to be moving on to oat breads next, and I might eventually come back to these buckwheat breads.
