— What is PNC Bread
PNC Bread is a pre-weighed, pre-blended baking mix — buckwheat flour, psyllium husk (soluble plant fibre from Plantago ovata seed husks), salt — shipped weekly to your door. You add water. You bake. The loaf is entirely yours.
Not a compromise. Not a substitute. Pure buckwheat — an ancient pseudo-grain, naturally gluten-free, rich in protein and flavour. The three ratios in this bag took months to perfect so you never have to think about them.
Whether you bake every Sunday or once a month — PNC Bread is on your table, not someone else's shelf.
+ 480 ml cold water — from your kitchen
— Three Ingredients
01 · Flour
Fagopyrum esculentum — pseudo-grain
An ancient pseudo-grain — not wheat, botanically related to rhubarb. Earthy, nutty, deeply satisfying. Naturally gluten-free, rich in protein, magnesium and rutin. The soul of the loaf.
300 g · per loaf · 92.7% of mix
02 · Binder
Plantago ovata — soluble plant fibre
The hidden genius. Psyllium husk is the fine, papery outer layer of Plantago ovata seeds — a natural soluble fibre that absorbs water, forms a gel, and binds the crumb. It replaces gluten entirely. Without it, gluten-free bread crumbles. With it — every slice cuts clean.
15 g · exactly 5% of flour weight
03 · Mineral
Sodium chloride · unrefined
Not a seasoning. A flavour activator. At 2.3% of flour weight, salt unlocks buckwheat's natural depth without tasting salty. The loaf is flat without it.
7 g · 2.3% of flour weight
— In depth · Ingredient 02
Psyllium husk is the outer coating of seeds from the Plantago ovata plant, a shrub-like herb native to India and the Middle East. When the seeds contact water they swell into a thick, viscous gel-forming fibre — the entire reason this works for bread without gluten.
Adds bulk + moisture; helps constipation and diarrhoea alike. Same active as Metamucil.
Binds bile acids → liver uses cholesterol to make new bile → modestly lowers LDL.
Viscous gel slows carbohydrate absorption → blunts post-meal glucose spikes.
Sits in the stomach, slows gastric emptying → helps with feeling full.
In PNC: 15 g per loaf (5% of flour weight). That's all the structure the bread needs — no gluten, no eggs, no flax.

— Nutrition
One loaf. Protein-rich, high in fibre, gluten-free, sugar-free. Better than most bread you can buy — made by your hands, from our mix.
Per loaf (approx. 750 g baked). Based on 300 g whole grain buckwheat flour, 15 g psyllium husk (soluble plant fibre from Plantago ovata seed husks — nature's gluten replacement), 7 g salt.
01 · The empty bowl
You start where every loaf in human history has started — with an empty bowl waiting on a table.
02 · One sachet
Three ingredients, pre-weighed by us. Buckwheat, psyllium, sea salt. Empty the sachet. Stir once.
03 · 480 ml of cold water
Cold tap water. The psyllium begins to gel as soon as it touches the flour. Put the spoon down.
04 · Twenty minutes of rest
Twenty minutes on the counter. The psyllium binds water into a soft, sliceable mass. You did nothing. It did everything.
05 · Seventy minutes at 180 °C
Into a greased tin. Into the oven. One temperature for the entire bake. The crust darkens. The kitchen fills with the smell.
06 · A loaf cool enough to slice
Two hours of cooling. Then the crumb is set. Slice it. Eat it. Bake it again on Sunday.
— How to Bake · in 3 steps
01 · Mix
Open one sachet into a large bowl. Stir once to combine. Already precisely measured — nothing to weigh.
02 · Water
Pour all at once. Stir firmly for 60 seconds. Put the spoon down. Rest 20 minutes — the psyllium gels and does all the work.
60 sec + 20 min rest
03 · Bake
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease a loaf tin. Scoop in the dough. Add seeds or herbs on top if you wish. Bake at 180 °C for the full 70 minutes — one steady temperature, no fiddling, no turning the dial. Then remove from the tin and let it cool completely as the crumb is still setting.
70 min · single 180 °C · then cool fully
— Highlights, in detail
Buckwheat flour, psyllium husk, fine sea salt. Nothing else needs to be in your bread.
Pour the sachet, add 480 ml cold water, stir firmly for sixty seconds. Put the spoon down.
180 °C for the full seventy minutes. No turning. No fiddling. No second temperature.
Five sachets. Five loaves. Bake once a week and a different loaf is on your table every weekend.
