Use einkorn flour for pancakes, waffles, cookies, cakes, muffins, pizza – and more. With a decadent buttery texture and subtle richness, einkorn will elevate your baking to a level you didn't think possible. Unlike the usual whole wheat in the grocery aisle, einkorn whole wheat gives a golden hue and mild nutty flavor. And because it’s packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants, you don't have to choose between healthy and delicious.
Einkorn is one of the oldest domesticated wheats. Because farmers have been growing this ancient grain for thousands of years, it's much easier to digest than many modern wheats that have been bred for yield and gluten strength. A few things to know when baking with einkorn. First, it doesn't absorb as much water, so it will give you a wetter dough. It also has less gluten potential, so it doesn't form those stretchy gluten bonds as much as other wheats. Don't be scared. Once you get to know this flour you will be hooked. PRO TIP: If subbing in a recipe that calls for whole wheat flour, reduce water by 5-10%.
