Homemade sourdough bread is a favorite, and now it’s Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat sourdough bread. It packs boatloads of nutrients with exceptional taste.
There’s something about the rich taste of homemade bread that sets the senses on fire, and nothing ramps that distinctive physiological response faster than a perfect loaf of homemade sourdough bread, and especially one made with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat’s (HTB) exceptional seeds.
The reason it’s so epic is because it’s jam-packed with powerful compounds, including rutin, quercetin, hesperidin, and luteolin. It rocks vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, prebiotics, whole slews of phytochemicals and antioxidants.
According to one report it’s “known to be one of the few plants on earth that produces natural 2-HOBA,” a molecular powerhouse for cells. Dr. Jeffrey Bland of Big Bold Health says it’s “the most immuneoactive, nutrient-dense plant yet discovered.”
Well I’m certainly stoked I discovered it for recipes, including this sourdough bread.

Vegan Buckwheat Sourdough Bread Recipe
There are three kinds of starters for homemade sourdough bread: sponge starters, commercial, and wild yeast made from scratch.
The latter takes the longest, days to weeks, while sponge and prepackaged reduce timeline. You can also keep a starter going for months on end.

Buckwheat Sourdough Bread Wild Yeast Starter
Wild yeast starters can take days to weeks, but the longer they ferment the tastier.
Overnight refrigeration yields a crustier loaf.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup organic flour.
- 1/4 cup HTB flour.
- 1/4 cup lukewarm filtered water.
Instructions
- Combine the water and flour in a mixing bowl, stir well, then knead until smooth on a non-floured wooden board, roughly 3-5 minutes.
- Return to bowl and cover tightly with a towel or cheesecloth.
- Leave at room temperature for 12/15 hours, then add another 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup lukewarm water and mix thoroughly (called feeding the starter).
- Cover and rest again for another 12-15 hours, repeating another time for 24 hours. If it’s risen and bubbly repeat the process a couple more times—or longer for a richer loaf—then taper down to a 12 then 4-8 hour window, tightly covering so no air gets in.
- When it’s ready it should be bubbly with a tangy smell.
Tips
- Starter should be used for making bread within four to eight hours after last feeding.
- To maintain a starter feed twice daily at 12-hour intervals.
- For longer maintenance refrigerate and feed once a week. Mature starters can survive longer with no feeding.
