Einkorn Wheat and Bread Guide

What is einkorn?

Einkorn is a type of wheat used in some bread recipes. This guide does not describe a particular bakery's production method.

Dough and texture

Results depend on how the grain is milled and whether other flours are blended in. Read the full recipe rather than drawing conclusions from the grain name alone.

Read the label

Check the proportion of einkorn flour, any other flours, salt and additional ingredients. The presence of einkorn alone does not mean a loaf is whole-grain or additive-free. Einkorn is wheat and contains gluten.
