Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Harvest Boule Bread

1 Round Loaf

This recipe by bakery owner LynnRae Ries is made in a round cake pan for an artisanal touch. For extra texture and crunch, add ½ cup each roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds or, if nuts are tolerated, stir in pine nuts, roasted almonds or walnuts. It can be made egg free and yeast free as Harvest Focaccia.

⅓ cup buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
¼ cup instant potato flakes
1 tablespoon xanthan gum or guar gum
1 tablespoon yeast
