Ingredients

  • 3-¾ cups all-purpose einkorn flour 450 grams
  • 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
  • 1- ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1-¼ cups warm milk 295 grams
  • ¼ cup honey 85 grams
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted (28 grams)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the einkorn flour, yeast and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk honey and melted butter.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the flour and stir until all the flour is absorbed. The dough will be wet and sticky.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
  • Grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
  • Scrape the dough out onto a work surface that has been greased with oil and shape the dough into a loaf. If the dough sticks to your hands then dip your hands into some water. Your wet hands will prevent the dough from sticking to them.
  • Place the shaped loaf of dough into the prepared loaf pan and grease the top of the dough with oil or butter.
  • Let the dough rise for 60 to 90 minutes (time will vary depending on room temperature and humidity). The dough should only rise to 1 1/2 times its original height. If you let the dough double in size it may collapse on itself since the gluten in the einkorn flour is not strong enough to hold a higher rise.
  • When the bread is almost finished rising, preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.  

Notes

  • Using instant yeast eliminates the need to dissolve and proof the yeast prior to mixing the ingredients. Just toss the ingredients together and mix well. 
  • The milk should be warmed to about 100° to 110°. I don't use a thermometer for this, I simply warm the milk until it is comfortably warm to the touch. 
  • A bowl scraper and a bench scraper make it easier to work with the bread dough. 
  • Nutrition is calculated based on 1 slice from a 20 slice loaf of bread.
