Simple Truth Buckwheat Pavé
What it is
This is a dense, rectangular loaf made primarily from buckwheat flour. It has a distinctive earthy flavor and a firm texture. The pavé shape suggests it is intended to be sliced and served. It is a pre-baked item, ready for consumption or further preparation. The ingredients are carefully selected to create a satisfying and flavorful bread alternative.
How people cook with it
Buckwheat pavé can be enjoyed in various ways, from simple toast to a base for more elaborate dishes.
- Toasted for breakfast
- As a base for avocado toast
- Cubed for croutons
- Served alongside soups
To best enjoy this pavé, slice it into desired thicknesses. For a warm and crispy experience, toast the slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. It can also be pan-fried in a little butter or oil for a richer flavor and texture. Consider using it as a sturdy base for open-faced sandwiches or as an accompaniment to hearty stews and rich sauces. Its dense nature makes it suitable for grilling as well.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike lighter, airier breads, buckwheat pavé is characterized by its substantial weight and chewy interior. Its flavor profile is more pronounced, with a nutty, slightly bitter taste that sets it apart from common wheat-based loaves. The buckwheat grain itself contributes to its unique texture and aroma.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions of the pavé in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for longer storage. Freezing is also an option for extended preservation.
