Ingredients

1/2 cup whole wheat starter (fed or unfed)

2 tbsp buckwheat flour

1 tbsp warm water

1/4 tsp dry active yeast

1 tbsp honey

2 1/2 cups flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup large flake oats

2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal

3 tbsp skim milk powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup toasted buckwheat kernels (kasha)

2 medium overripe bananas, mashed

Directions

Combine the starter, buckwheat flour, water, yeast and honey in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, stirring well to make smooth. Set aside for 1 hour.

In a bowl, combine flours, oats, flaxseed meal, skim milk powder, salt, cinnamon and buckwheat kernels, whisking well.

Gradually stir 1/2 the flour mixture into the yeast / starter blend, then add the mashed bananas, beating in well.

Beat in the last of the dry ingredients to form a sticky but complete dough. You probably won't be able to knead it, but mix it vigorously (a stand mixer with a dough hook DEFINITELY helps!) for 6-8 minutes.

Place into a greased bowl, lightly oil the top and cover. Let rise 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.

Punch down and shape into a log. Place into a greased loaf pan and cover lightly, let rise another 30 minutes - 1 hour, until almost doubled.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Bake loaf for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Sounds fantatsic to me. Would rather have it heavy on taste than beauty. Great post Jo. You have my 5 forks.

Sounds like a good recipe and I am setting up to make it this morning but I am a little worried about the buckwheat groats (kasha). Do they get tender enough?

They really do! The bread is moist enough that they soften to the point of being like the slightly "crunchy bits" in multigrain bread. I'll post a cutaway view
