In this region, like in other moor and heath regions with meagre farmland, growing grains is difficult. For centuries, buckwheat was grown instead of wheat or rye in this regions, until growing potatoes became popular during the regency of \u201cold Fritz<\/a>\u201d. In Germany, buckwheat is sometimes called \u201cHeidekorn\u201d what means heath grain, referring to the fact that its mainly grown in heath regions.<\/p>\n Buckwheat is not a real grain, it belongs to the family of Polygonaceae and is related to sorrel and rhubarb. Buckwheat contains not gluten and can added to bread only in small amounts.<\/p>\n When I found some leftover buckwheat flour which I bought during our vacation, I decided to use it an a bread dough.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sourdough<\/p>\n Dough<\/p>\n In the evening mix water, flour and starter for the sourdough and ferment for about 10 \u201312 hours at 25\u00b0C.<\/p>\n Mix all ingredients for the dough\u00a0 and knead it for about 5 min at low speed, then 8 min on high speed until medium gluten development.<\/p>\n Ferment for 2 hours.<\/p>\n Half the dough and form each half to a round loaf. Place each loaf in a proofing basket, with seam side up.<\/p>\n Proof overnight in the fridge,<\/p>\n In the morning heat the baking stone at 250\u00b0C.<\/p>\n Prior to baking, slash the loafs and bake the breads for 15 min at 250\u00b0C with steam then reduce the temperature to 220\u00b0C and bake for another 30 min.<\/p>\nHeath bread<\/u><\/h1>\n
