Instructions
Instructions for Oven Baking
- Put flour, ginger, yeast in a bowl and combine well.
- Add the butter cubes and combine them until they're smaller chunks. Don't worry about them being chunky.
- Add the ACV and salt to the warm water.
- If you have an electric mixer with a bread hook, use that. If you don’t have a mixer, you can knead the dough by hand.Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the warm water mixture to the flour while mixing on low for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes of mixing, turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Next, place the dough in a greased bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
- Allow bread to rise in a warm area for 25 minutes. Overproofing Einkorn dough will cause it to collapse when baked so be careful not to overprove.
- Butter or oil a bread pan.
- Shape the dough to the form of your bread pan then place it seam-side down into the pan.I prefer to work bread with hands moistened with water, but you can oil or butter your hands instead.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a moist towel and let the bread rise for another 25 minutes. If the bread rises to touch the cover, remove it and let it continue to rise uncovered.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
- Place the pan on a cooling rack and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
- Turn the bread out on the cooling rack and let it sit until completely cool before slicing. This will take about an hour.
Instructions For Bread Machine
- Add water and ACV to the bread machine pan.
- Then add to the pan, in this order:The flour. Make a well in the middle of it and add the yeast.Next, add the salt to one end.Lastly, divide the butter cubes between the corners of the pan.
- Every bread machine is different so adjust these directions to your machine.(1) Set a 10-minute mixing/kneading cycle. I have to set my machine on the whole wheat bread setting and then set a timer to remind me to stop it after the mixing cycle. I do this because this setting has a 10-minute kneading(mixing) cycle.(2) Once the mixing cycle is complete, set a 50-minute rising (or fermenting as it’s called on my machine) cycle.(3) When the time has passed, set a 50-minute bake cycle. Set the crust to the brownness you want, I use the medium setting.
- If you have a customizable cycle that is awesome. Set the above parameters and start the machine.
- Once the bread is finished baking, remove the pan from the machine. Set it on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn the loaf out of the pan onto the cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.Letting it cool completely will help prevent a crumbly loaf.
Notes
- Einkorn is heavier than other flours but both ginger and ACV help with the rise. Don’t worry, you won’t taste them at all.
- I use raw, organic ACV that is 25% acidity. If you use a 5% acidity ACV, you may have to increase the amount to 1 tsp to get the rise you want.
