Will rye flour work as a buckwheat flour substitute in yeasted dough?
Yes, at 1:1. Similar density and dark flavour, but contains gluten. Bake-test before scaling up.

Prioritize substitutions that protect gluten development and fermentation performance. Bread dough is less forgiving than quick bakes. Structure and fermentation can collapse with poor substitutions.
Can I make bread without buckwheat flour?
