This easy bread recipe comes together quickly because it doesn’t need any time to rise. This savoury twist on a normally sweet loaf will be a welcome addition to your dinner table. Buckwheat flour lends itself well to the savoury flavour with its slightly earthy taste. Make this bread completely gluten free by choosing a gluten-free beer.

    Pumpkin―many ways

    The pumpkin flavour in this loaf comes more from the pumpkin beer than it does from the actual pumpkin. But the puréed pumpkin keeps the bread moist while also―along with the pumpkin-seed topping―adding healthy fibre.
