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

Nice teaching video. Oddly enough, I had the concept that it was difficult to make einkorn bread. However, this video encouraged me to try. Thank you so much

[@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!

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.

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.

Just took it out of the oven, even considering it getting stuck, it still turned out pretty nice!! Yippeee!😊🥞Also made the buttermilk pancakes from the cookbook. My husband said “these are the best pancakes I’ve ever had”...I added frozen blueberries. Thanks for a lovely cookbook, Carla!

[@guelle01]

I used same recipe as here and instead einkorn used spelt. This recipe is genius. No need to mix, and bread is amazing every time. I have to say that i sieve the flour and take out the bits and grind them in a coffee grinder. That way i have less akin breakage. Thank you!!!! I tried so many different recipes and combinations and this one is the best. I wish i could share my pictures here bc you made me succeed! I was ready to give up. Thank you again!

[@perkirkegaardlemming720]

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.

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.

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!

[@vickymc3855]

Made my first einkorn sourdough loaf from your recipe. It taste really good but not sure if I had a good rise.

[@JovialFoodsInc]

A strong starter and practice are the two things I recommend just beyond the 'weigh your ingredients' advice. Einkorn has weak gluten so you will not get a large rise or big open crumb. Whole grain will also yield a slightly denser crumb than our all purpose flour. Our AP flour is NOT white flour and while it is not whole grain, it is easier to work with.

[@cookepaul3918]

Thanks for your excellent video. I recently read that parchment paper can leach plastic silicon into the food it touches. Is there a way to make this bread without the parchment paper?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

This dough is very sticky and while you can use a linen couche the parchment is recommended due to how sticky the dough is.

It is a very sticky dough due to the weak gluten proteins; be sure to weigh your ingredients and be careful not to overproof which will make the dough even slacker and harder to handle.

You will need 10% of the weight of the flour in starter in the dough. Then you would need to add the portion of the flour and water from the levain portion into the main recipe, and let it rise overnight.

[@MrPelletty]

The reason the final dough is cracking is because its too dry and the dough is not incorporated properly. Einkorn can be mixed in a standing mixer but you need to have the appropriate hydration and technique.

[@ely42609]

Was thinking about that.What would be the proper hydration? I always make my starters (gluten-free and einkorn) at 100%. My whole grain millet sourdough bread looks beautiful, and even though it doesn't have any gluten, it has a higher rise than this einkorn bread. I see everyone using low hydration, and not letting the bread over proof. My gf sourdough recipe also calls for not letting it over proof, but I ignore that and let it double in size.The final bread is very high for a gf bread honestly, so I think I will try let it proof longer on this one too, and use higher hydration on the starter.

[@MrPelletty]

First make sure your starter is strong and active before making the dough. A strong and active starter before mixing will rise much better. I never use instant yeast. Next sift the flour after it is milled. You will pull a lot of bran by doing so and the gluten will improve as well as absorption. I usually go with 50/50 Einkorn and Bread flour to increase height and crumb texture unless you prefer the denser loaf. At 50/50 you can go around 77% hydration if your climate is normal. this means the total water is 77 % including the water in the starter. I keep my starter in the consistency of thick waffle batter, sometimes adding more flour only if it becomes too runny.. If you want to do 100% einkorn you need to go closer to 82% and make sure you have a 30 minute Autolyse before adding starter. When it is mixed the final dough should be slightly sticky and stretch without breaking at least 6 inches. You have to have a bulk fermentation until it is at least doubled. Souring helps with digestion and flavor. Stretch and fold at least 3 times before shaping and let it proof in your basket in the refrigerator until it rises. Bake with a lot of humidity. I never have cracking unless the dough is dry or not mixed enough. There are so many tiny details in bread making that each need to be accomplished with discipline. I am always learning or improving something. @ely42609 @@ely42609

Keeping it in the freezer bag will retain hydration and transferring to a paper bag might allow it to dry out quicker. Just watch for too much moisture when it thaws that could make portions soggy; venting the bag a little bit would help.

Hi, I can't all purpose einkorn flour in my country, is it possible to make the sourdough bread from whole wheat einkorn flour at all?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Yes, please see our sourdough starter video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqvMppiYjdiHY80

What size Banneton bowl should I use?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

We suggest an 8" basket

I love your videos. My biggest question is water temperature. How on point do we need to be with the 100 degrees in the levain and dough making? I feel like I stress myself out with waiting for my water temp to drop to exactly 100 before pouring it in.... can it be within a couple degrees each way?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Good question! a bit cooler would be better than too hot. Hot could kill the yeast organisms you are trying to cultivate. Warm to the touch (handwashing temperature) is good!

[@sidhinarula8516]

what if I don't have a cast iron pot - can I bake in an iron skillet uncovered

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Yes, that works well if preheated.

Thanks for your quick response!

Can I make the French boule only using the whole grain flour and starter? It seems most of your recipes are for the AP flour.

[@JovialFoodsInc]

this recipe is basically the French boule using whole wheat flour.

I just got the einkorn recipes book and can't wait to try different recipes even though I can't find all purpose einkorn flour anywhere. I noticed a mistake though at page 14th, sourdough levain. Should be 96gr whole grain einkorn flour

Hello, this question is regarding the no-knead overnight artisan bread. When you let the dough rise for 10 to 15 hours, what should the temperature of the room be where it is rising? Thank you.

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Average room temperatures are fine; between 68 and 72 degrees is perfect.

My enamel Dutch oven is oven safe to 450 . Will it still turn out ok despite lower temp

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Yes, but you may need to adjust baking time to accommodate.

@@JovialFoodsInc I baked at 450 extra ten min. Turned out great (my first time) thanks for responding and awesome tutorials.

Carla, my first loaf....rose fantastic...floured the banner on really well...when I went to turn it into the preheated dutch oven, the darn thing stuck a bit and landed on the side of the pot!!! I was so bummed...my perfect loaf....😫😳

[@vickicade5399]

I hate to be a pain, but I so want to get this right. When you say to use the whole batch of starter, I’m assuming that’s after you take out the 10% for feeding?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

It is not a batch of starter it is a batch of levain. You make a levain from 30 grams of active starter.

I would like to bake this bread in a larger loaf, say 33% larger. I am concerned that the temperature of the over and cook time will be different since I am adding mass. Is there a formula or adjustment to be made. I'd also like to add sprouted einkorn berries to the loaf, but am afraid the high temperature of the bake might burn them. Any suggestions appreciated.

[@JovialFoodsInc]

You will have to experiment a bit with increasing the size. Due to the weak gluten, a large, heavy loaf may not rise as you would like. Sprouted berries should not burn if they are still soft and damp from sprouting and incorporated into the dough vs. as a topping.

Isnt 60 pct hydration low for a whole grain dow?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

We find Einkorn performs better with slower fermentation/lower hydration.

Hi. The recipe whole grain batard in your book uses 295g of water with other ingredients the same. How come water is much less in books recipe? Thank you
