Here’s what made the list.

EInkorn Bread Recipes You Can’t Overlook

If there’s one thing einkorn does beautifully, it’s bread. The grain has a naturally soft, almost buttery texture that makes every loaf feel like something special, even when it’s the simplest recipe you own.

Basic White Einkorn Yeast Bread

This is where most people start, and honestly, where a lot of people stay. It’s a straightforward sandwich bread made with all-purpose einkorn flour — light, fluffy, and perfect for everything from toast to turkey sandwiches. This easy einkorn flour recipe uses simple ingredients you probably already have, making it ideal for beginner bakers. If you’ve never baked with einkorn before, this is the recipe to try first.

Einkorn French Bread

Crusty on the outside, soft on the inside. This French bread comes together faster than you’d expect and fills the kitchen with the kind of smell that makes everyone ask “what’s baking?” Great on its own with butter, or sliced alongside soup or pasta.

Whole Grain Einkorn Bread

For anyone who prefers the nutrition and depth of whole grain, this recipe delivers without the heaviness you sometimes get with whole wheat. Einkorn’s whole grain flour has a milder, slightly sweet flavor that keeps the bread tender. It’s a favorite with families who want to feed everyone well without sacrificing taste.

Einkorn Dinner Rolls

Soft, pillowy, and easy to make in big batches — these dinner rolls disappear fast. They’re the kind of thing you bring to a holiday table or a potluck and people ask for the recipe. Every time.

Simply Sweet Einkorn Desserts

Einkorn has a natural sweetness to it that works really well in baked goods. You’ll notice the flavor is a little richer, a little more golden, and a bit nuttier than what you might be used to in other flours.

Einkorn Sugar Cookies

Happy birthday, happy Tuesday, happy just-because. These sugar cookies are soft, glazeable, and perfect for any occasion that calls for a cookie (which is most occasions, if we’re being honest). A reader favorite with dozens of comments, many from people who say they get no gluten reaction — which is a big deal for a lot of our community!

Whole Grain Einkorn Brownies

Rich and fudgy, and made with whole grain einkorn flour. You’d never guess these brownies are the “healthier” version of anything. They’re just really, really good brownies. That’s it.

Apple Cinnamon Einkorn Pancakes

These pancakes are a weekend staple for a lot of our readers. The apple and cinnamon give them a warmth that plain pancakes just don’t have, and einkorn flour makes them tender without being heavy. Stack them up, pour on the maple syrup, and take your time with breakfast.

Our Savory Einkorn Favorites

Einkorn isn’t just for baking bread and sweets. It works beautifully in savory dishes too: from homemade pizza nights to side dishes that steal the show.

Whole Grain Einkorn Pizza Dough

Homemade pizza dough sounds like a project, but this recipe makes it simple. It uses whole grain einkorn flour, so you’re getting real nutrition in every slice — and the flavor is nuttier and more interesting than regular pizza crust. Friday nights just got better.

Einkorn Risotto

This one surprises people. Instead of using rice, this risotto is made with einkorn wheat berries, which give it a chewy, satisfying texture that holds up beautifully with butter, broth, and parmesan. It’s comfort food with a story behind it — one that goes back thousands of years.

Einkorn Wheat Thins

Once you make crackers from scratch, it’s hard to go back to the box. These einkorn wheat thins are thin, crispy, and have that savory, wheaty flavor that pairs well with cheese, hummus, or just eating them plain out of the container (no judgment).

Einkorn Apple Salad

A lighter way to enjoy einkorn — this salad combines cooked einkorn berries with fresh apple and a simple dressing. It’s the kind of dish that works as a side, a lunch, or something you bring to a gathering when you want people to try einkorn for the first time. The berries have a satisfying chew and a mild, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the crunch of apple.

Start Wherever Sounds Good

There’s no wrong place to begin. If you’re brand new to einkorn, the Basic White Yeast Bread or the Sugar Cookies are easy entry points. If you’ve been baking with einkorn for a while and want to try something different, the Risotto or the Apple Salad might be your next favorite.
