4-Ingredient Einkorn Bread

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
This is a great fast recipe that I got from Jovial Foods. This is also where I get my einkorn flour and pasta from. They have great resources and recipes. It was Carla and Rodolfo, founders of Jovial Foods, who help bring einkorn flour back from almost extinction. I am really grateful to have found this wonderful ancient grain that makes me thrive in every regard.
This recipe does not use sourdough as a leaven, and I am a big proponent of using sourdough starters; but when you need a loaf of bread fast, and since einkorn as less phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors than regular flour this is a great recipe to choose. It only has 4 ingredients!

Instructions

  • Add the water and yeast to a large bowl and whisk together until dissolved and creamy. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the bowl and sprinkle the salt on top. Using a stiff spatula, mix the dough until the flour is absorbed. The mixture will come together quickly into a wet dough. Do not add extra flour.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan.
  • Mix and push down on the dough with a spatula to deflate the rise. Transfer the bread dough to the prepared loaf pan and press down on the dough to minimize air bubbles. Use a wet spatula or a bowl scraper to smooth out the top of the loaf.
  • Cover the pan tightly with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and transfer the loaf pan to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes until the loaf just begins to turn golden brown on top. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out the loaf onto a cooling rack. Let cool for 2 hours before slicing.
