Ingredients

1½ cups warm water (360 g)

600 g fresh milled einkorn (6 1/4 cups of fresh milled flour)
(600 g einkorn berries = 600 g fresh milled flour)

¼ cup melted butter or oil (56 g)

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (113 g)

1 teaspoon vinegar (5 g)

1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin (5 g), optional
(or substitute 1 egg yolk)

1 teaspoon salt (6 g)

2 teaspoons instant yeast (6–7 g)

Instructions

Mill einkorn berries into fresh flour. (I like to mill einkorn finely in my Nutrimill Classic Grain Mill.

Add all ingredients except the yeast to the mixing bowl.

Mix just until combined.

Cover and let dough autolyze for 15 minutes.

Sprinkle yeast evenly over the top of the dough.

Turn mixer to the lowest speed and mix 2 minutes, just to incorporate.

Cover and let dough rest 30 minutes.

Spoon dough into a well-oiled loaf pan.

With oiled hands, gently press the dough down in the pan to deflate.

Smooth the top and allow dough to rise again 45 minutes, until the pan is nicely filled.

Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40–45 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the loaf browns too quickly.)

Remove from pan immediately, brush with butter, and cover with a tea towel.

Let cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy interior.

Slice and enjoy your delicious, nourishing fresh milled einkorn bread.
