Delight in this nutritious buckwheat bread swirled with savory olive tapenade. Perfect for clean eating and home baking enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • buckwheat flour: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • warm water: 3/4 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black olives: 1/2 cup, pitted and chopped
- • capers: 2 tablespoons, drained
- • sun-dried tomatoes: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, and sea salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- 3 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 4 While the dough is rising, prepare the olive tapenade. In a food processor, combine black olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Pulse until you achieve a coarse paste.
- 5 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the olive tapenade evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 6 Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides. Pinch the seams to seal, and place the log, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 7 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow the bread to rise for another 15-20 minutes while the oven heats.
- 8 Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Storage Tips
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain its freshness, you can also wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Simply thaw slices at room temperature or pop them in a toaster for a quick and delicious snack.
