Ingredients

    1/2 cup whole wheat starter (fed or unfed)
    2 tbsp buckwheat flour
    1 tbsp warm water
    1/4 tsp dry active yeast
    1 tbsp honey
    2 1/2 cups flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup large flake oats
    2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
    3 tbsp skim milk powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 cup toasted buckwheat kernels (kasha)
    2 medium overripe bananas, mashed

Directions

Combine the starter, buckwheat flour, water, yeast and honey in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, stirring well to make smooth. Set aside for 1 hour.
In a bowl, combine flours, oats, flaxseed meal, skim milk powder, salt, cinnamon and buckwheat kernels, whisking well.
Gradually stir 1/2 the flour mixture into the yeast / starter blend, then add the mashed bananas, beating in well.
Beat in the last of the dry ingredients to form a sticky but complete dough. You probably won't be able to knead it, but mix it vigorously (a stand mixer with a dough hook DEFINITELY helps!) for 6-8 minutes.
Place into a greased bowl, lightly oil the top and cover. Let rise 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
Punch down and shape into a log. Place into a greased loaf pan and cover lightly, let rise another 30 minutes - 1 hour, until almost doubled.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Bake loaf for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
