Whole Grain Einkorn Sourdough Bread

[@tombarron2468]

Thanks so much for this recipe! My wife is very gluten intolerant and has not been able to eat “normal” bread for 6 years. Through research I came upon your Einkorn. I made this whole grain sourdough in hopes that she may be able to eat it. Viola! She has been able to eat this without any bad side effects. Thank you for the Einkhorn recipes😎

[@JovialFoodsInc]

That's just great!

[@Nora-et6et]

Was she able to tolerate it ? My husband is also intolerant and I’m hoping this will be a good alternative

[@SweetcreationsbyRT]

Cee Gee Will you please let me know what is the formula or measurements you use for mixed loaf? I am new to baking sourdough bread and hate to waste flour until I find the proper mixed combination. Thank you in advance.

[@alicejahn6475]

Thanks for the video! I just used it to make my first loaf of bread ever. 'Wasn't sure if it was going to work, but so much fun playing with the starter and levain, and my husband got really excited waiting for the final result. We couldn't wait and cut into it as soon as it came out of the oven and stood in the kitchen devouring slices. Delicious! I made a few rookie mistakes like forgetting to turn the temperature down after taking the lid off of the dutch oven, so it came out very crispy. But I can't wait to do it all again next weekend.

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Yay!

[@ejbragg1]

Aha! Finally, some good information about einkorn sourdough! I had some frustration with my first attempt, but I was also mixing a much higher hydration. The dough just wanted to run like a soup if I left it alone for more than 15 minutes. In the end, it did actually rise, and held its shape for baking, but only because I stuck it in the fridge for several hours before baking. It didn’t rise quite as well as yours. Nice job! And yes, this make some of the best bread on planet earth!

[@christinadill6964]

This is so amazing. I actually just bought your book. I have a grain grinder and einkorn wheat berries. I am going to start making a sourdough today and when I got that ready will buy a Dutch oven. Your videos are so amazingly helpful. I hope you do more videos on the whole grain type breads 😊

These are great videos!! Thank you so much. I ordered wheat berries, the dough mixer, cloth and book from you. I also got a Dutch oven, grain mill and a few other things! I’m ready to try einkorn.

What’s the alternative to a Dutch oven if you don’t have one for someone that’s just starting .

[@JovialFoodsInc]

A casserole dish, ceramic pot or cast iron pan work well. You will lose the 'steam' benefit of a lidded Dutch oven which helps develop the crust, but these are great alternatives.

[@Kathleen67.]

I love your cookbook and products! I have bought cookbooks my whole life and have many, but this is the single best cookbook I have ever had and I am making most of the recipes - I live in this cookbook! I have been determined to figure out how to make good whole grain bread and was about ready to call the company with questions, so this video is perfect timing! I only have a large toaster oven at this point, so I have to adjust length of cooking time as it only heats to 425. And, I only have cast iron bread pans I stack for a Dutch oven. I used to make 6 loaves in an hour with hard red wheat, but I want the most nutritious food for my family, so the effort is worth it. Even my imperfect breads are a big hit with my family and our digestion has significantly improved, a health bonus we did not expect. We love Jovial!

[@JovialFoodsInc]

That's great news Kathleen!

Awesome ...followed all your direction and steps in detail (using Jovial whole wheat Einkorn flour of course👍) didn’t skip any of your instructions. The bread came out like the picture on your cookbook👍👍👍. And the smell of the Einkorn bread even during proofing was amazing in my kitchen. Personally, I really like the whole wheat Einkorn flour to work with since for me it takes minimal kneading and handling . So easy to shape too. I used a well floured banneton basket. Now the hardest part is slicing this pretty looking bread.. Thanks so much for your video.

I started baking rye bread in the mid-80s, when I was studying engineering and had to live on a rock. I acquired a Hawos Billy 200 grinder 14 years ago. Since then I have baked 100% whole grain rye bread with 3/8 parts spelt and 5/8 parts sweder rye. I try to bake wholemeal bread from the old varieties of wheat, spelt, emmer, øland, einkorn, but I think they become too heavy. I sometimes sift the flour down to 70%, but then I get less fiber and fewer nutrients. I am learning for the first time from You, that it is not recommended to knead dough from ancient wheat. Useful information. Some believe that the bran cuts the gluten strings, some believe that it is the weight of the bran that the gluten cannot bear. In any case, if you remove bran and other things, the gluten concentration will be higher and some weight will disappear. I haven't been able to find anything scientific about it. Regardless, if you sift the flour down to 80-70% wholemeal flour, will it then correspond to all-purpose flour, or is something more done with all-purpose flour. I cool the wheat grains in the freezer before grinding the grain. The temperature rises by 20 °C in the grinder, the temperature of the flour is kept below 20 °C. Thank you very much for very informative videos. I made pasta from 100% spelt but it is too fragile. Now I have bought some Kamut grain to make pasta from. I try first with 100% Kamut and then gently combine eggs and flour together.
