Two to four tablespoons of liquid malt extrtact should give you what you
want flavorwise. It can be added directly to the flour with the liquor or
mixed into boiling water and cooled for a finer dispersion.
I've never used buckwheat flour in bread, but I suspect it isn't as
absorbent as wheat flour. It is also likely that this is a heavy dough and
the buckwheat isn't getting worked in properly Something to try, which may
or may not work, is to take half of your water, dissolve your malt in it,
let it cool a little bit, then add your buckwheat flour to it stand for a
few minutes before adding it to the wheat flour. Then mix the two flours
and add the rest of your liquor.to make your dough. I'd recommend some hand
kneading to feel the consistency of the dough, but I don't know if that is a
serious consideration with a bread machine.
