Classic Einkorn Sourdough Bread Recipe

If you have ever wanted to bake a bread that combines the rich, nutty flavor of einkorn flour with the delightful texture of sourdough then this classic einkorn sourdough bread recipe is the easy solution.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams einkorn flour
  • 350 grams water room temperature
  • 100 grams active sourdough starter
  • 10 grams salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the einkorn flour and water. Stir until no dry flour remains. Let it rest for 30 minutes (autolyse).
  • Add Starter and Salt: After the autolyse, add the active sourdough starter and salt. Mix until incorporated.
  • Bulk Fermentation: Let the dough rise at room temperature for about 4-5 hours, folding it every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.
  • Shape the Dough: After bulk fermentation, gently turn the dough out onto a floured surface, shape it into a round loaf, and place it in a floured proofing basket.
  • Final Proof: Cover and let it rise for another 2-3 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
  • Preheat the Oven: About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  • Bake: Carefully transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool: Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
