Ingredients
SCALE
- 2 cup Warm Water
- 2 tablespoon Yeast
- 2 tablespoon Honey
- 7 1/2 cup Whole Grain Einkorn Flour
- 1 cup All-Purpose Einkorn Flour
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- Olive Oil To Taste
- Garlic Powder To Taste
- Italian Seasoning To Taste
- Kosher Salt To Taste
Instructions
1. Mix warm water, yeast, and honey in a large bowl and let rest for 5 minutes.
2. Add 5 cups of fresh ground einkorn flour and mix well. Once combined, add in salt and olive oil and all purpose einkorn flour. Now add the remaining einkorn flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5 minutes.
3. Cover and raise in a bowl for 20 minutes.
4. Place a pizza stone on the top rack of the oven and pre-heat oven to 500 degrees F.
5. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and roll into a rectangle about a half of an inch thick. Brush the entire surface of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powered and Italian seasoning. Cut the dough into rectangles with a pizza cutter.
6. Once the oven is heated, place the rectangles on parchment paper and sprinkle with kosher salt. I like to use a dough scrapper to work with and move the dough.
7. Slide into the oven with a pizza paddle and bake for 6 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and cool for five minutes. Cut this wonderful bread and make the sandwich of your dreams.

Hi there. New to einkorn. Is this really only a 20 minute rise time?
Hi AnnMarie, the rise time depends on a variety of factors. It might be longer, but it is a pretty short rise time for this recipe. Einkorn will not usually double like modern wheat, so you don’t wait for that and you don’t want it to over rise.
Thank you! I’m so used to a double rise of an hour each I was scratching my head!
Hi, thank you for the recipe. It was confusing to me the whole amount of whole flour. In the ingredients it was listed 7 and 1/2 cups but then in the instructions you said only 5 cups plus the 1 cup from all purpose flour.
I did it with the 7 1/2 cup plus 1 cup all purpose and it did not work. I had to use more water.
Can you clarify that please?
thanks!
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I apologize for the mistake. We have updated the recipe.
This is a lovely recipe! Having worked a fair amount with freshly milled einkorn, I know how problematic it can be (sticky, not easy to handle, does not want to be overworked). After mixing all ingredients, I did an autolyse for about an hour, then hand-kneaded on the counter with a small splash of water (no added flour) for not more than 2 minutes. The texture and gluten development was lovely. It would have been easy to form into small rolls or subs, as one commenter pointed out. Lots of possibilities with this basic recipe and I will try those another time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Can you please add a print button to this recipe? Thanx! Can’t wait to try it! I hope to use it to make sub rolls, like subways rosemary roll.
Hi Sue, thanks for your question. We don’t have that feature on the website right now. But you’re welcome to copy and paste it into a word document and print it.
Great recipe! my husband loves these. As buns they hold together when you eat your sandwich! Einkorn buns generally crumble as bread or buns. And this recipe also is quick with the 20 minute rise. Tastes great too. I just brushed with olive oil. no seasonings yet.
