Buckwheat oat bread
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more info. This Gluten-free yeast-free bread recipe is so easy and allergy-friendly. It never occurred to me that some folks buckwheat oat bread be just as allergic to yeast as my husband is to gluten.
But the idea intrigued me, and since gluten-free bread is a batter, yeast-free bread didn’t seem like it should be too hard to accomplish. It took a couple of tries to get the consistency right, but when I finally realized that baking powder needed a thinner batter than yeast did, I was very happy with the result. Garrett enjoyed bread and honey, which he rarely gets, and Gabriel enjoyed a meal of sandwiches, which he doesn’t get nearly often enough by his standards. Once again, as always tends to be the case with breads, the best results come from using a specific bread flour mix, rather than an all purpose flour mix such as you would use for Gluten Free Fritters. So rather than link to a mix, in this recipe, I’m just going to list the individual flours and starches.
This delicious gluten-free, yeast-free sandwich bread is the perfect recipe if your family has special dietary needs. Your whole family will love it. Add wet ingredients, and mix until well incorporated. Grease a regular sized loaf pan, or two mini loaf pans. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack at least ten minutes before slicing. I was very happy with how soft it remained.
I would say in fact, that the crust is the biggest difference between this and traditional yeast risen bread. Share a photo and tag us — we can’t wait to see what you’ve made!

It really wears your hand out, but it really improves the end product because gluten-free flours tend to absorb liquids as you beat them. You can substitute tapioca starch or arrowroot for cornstarch. Just make sure you beat it really well by hand. I was so excited to make this bread but unfortunately it did not taste great. It was very thick and all I could taste was the baking powder. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. The only time I’ve had trough with this recipe was when I tried subbing buckwheat flour for some of the flours listed.
Can I also use white rice flour? You could, but I’m not sure how it would affect the loaf, rising, and starch balance wise. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. All I know for sure is that I replaced the flours with buckwheat and corn one time and it didn’t rise, but it may have been coincidence.
