I’m gluten intolerant so decided to give einkorn a try. I just wanted to say thank you not only for your products but for how you answer everyone’s questions. I’ve learned so much already just reading through everyone’s questions and your answers. I’m excited to try making my first load of bread. I miss bread so much!
Can you double this recipe? I have a recipe that makes 5 loaves of bread with regular wheat in the Bosch. It seems if you double this recipe it would make 5 loaves just not sure because it’s such a different wheat to work with.
Hi Danielle, yes you can double it. Five would be fine. It will, of course, depend on the size of your bread pans and how big you want your loaves, but it should work just fine.
Hello! Do you happen to know approximately how much flour by weight, rather than volume? Or if not, what method to use for measuring flour? (Scooping it out, or spooning it in then leveling, etc).?
Thank you so much for this recipe. One of the best-looking einkorn sandwich loaves I’ve seen!
Hi Sierra, I don’t know the weight. We scoop and then shake the measuring cup to make it more or less level. It might be a good idea to fluff your flour with a whisk if it’s been sitting. Also, consistency is always the best measure when you’re baking bread. Amounts can vary.
I’ve been experimenting with einkorn flour (whole grain and “all purpose”), with natural leavening (sourdough) and with yeasted doughs. I have enjoyed the bread I’ve made, but it hasn’t been light enough for my family to enjoy (weaning them off of store-bought). After the four cups of AP, I added 2 cups of whole grain einkorn, 2 cups of spelt flour, and roughly 6-7 Tbsp of vital wheat gluten. Holy oven spring! The loaves turned out beautifully. My husband referred to them as “Dolly Parton” loaves due to the huge oven spring, but they are light, fluffy, and delicious. I believe I have found our daily bread! Thank you!
I just read on your “what is einkorn flour” page not to use a stand mixer to make bread because gluten doesn’t need to be developed. But in the recipe comments it says to knead with a stand mixer. I’m confused. I don’t want to waste any of my wheat berries.
Hi Roberta, We do use a stand mixer. I was not aware that we ever said not to. That post must be very old. The main thing with einkorn is you don’t want to overmix. Just mix until it comes together. You don’t need to knead it for several minutes like you do with wheat bread. I hope that helps.
I have been baking with hard red and white wheat and they are both low moisture. is einkon flour more moist than these? Is einkon classified as soft flour? Will I be able to mix these two flours or would it be best to use them in separate recipes? Thank you.
Hi Brenda, Yes, einkorn is a wetter grain than all forms of modern wheat. You can mix them, but you’ll want to watch consistency and I’d only do it with recipes you are familiar with. If you want to ue just einkorn, I’d start with recipes that are written for it.

It says instead of a third loaf you can make mini cinnamon rolls. I cannot find the recipe for this on your web site.
Hi Wendy. this is our cinnamon roll recipe, but you can make the roll as big or as small as you want. You may just have to adjust bake time.
Taking notes! Every question and answer is so helpful. I want to get us off store-bought, and need a sandwich bread. Looking forward!
