Buckwheat Flour

Discover the distinct flavor and versatility of Buckwheat with our 5 lb bag of freshly milled flour. Despite its name, Buckwheat isn’t actually wheat but a seed from a flowering plant related to rhubarb, making it naturally gluten-free and more akin to a legume. Buckwheat has a long and storied history, celebrated in Eastern European cuisine for its hearty, earthy taste and ability to elevate everything from bread to pancakes to traditional dishes like blini.

At Proof, we embrace Buckwheat’s unique qualities by crafting a scald—a porridge made with freshly milled Buckwheat flour—before incorporating it into our doughs. This technique maximizes hydration, locking in moisture that translates into enhanced longevity and softness in the final bread. The result is a loaf with a rich, complex flavor profile and a tender crumb that stands out on any table.

Buckwheat flour offers endless possibilities when used strategically. Its bold, nutty flavor can transform artisan breads, enhance the depth of cookies, or add character to savory dishes like crepes and dumplings. Whether you’re experimenting with gluten-free baking or looking to bring a unique twist to your recipes, Buckwheat is a flavorful and nutritious choice.

Add a bag of our freshly milled Buckwheat flour to your pantry and explore the culinary traditions of Eastern Europe while crafting your own delicious creations.
