Buckwheat Bread

This bread is one of my favorites. Baby Bell and I can't get enough of this delighful and flavorful bread. There are three different types of flour in this bread, so the buckwheat isn't overpowering. This bread is great served warm with a big old pat of butter!



Just a side note: If you bake a lot of bread, then it is worth it to buy a bulk bag of yeast. Fill a small empty jar (such a baby food jar) with yeast and place in the fridge until needed. Wrap the rest in tin foil and place in a ziplock bag. Place into the freezer until the small jar needs filled.
