Einkorn Flour Baking Tips

1. Einkorn bread dough will be wet and sticky, but have patience and trust the flour measurements, even if the dough seems more like a thick batter at first.
2. If you are looking for an All-Purpose Einkorn sandwich loaf recipe, we recommend our Beginner's Einkorn Bread recipe!
3. While we offer the cup measurements alongside grams, we always recommend weighing your ingredients using a scale.
4. When substituting all-purpose einkorn flour for whole grain, make sure to weigh a cup of all-purpose flour at 120 grams and decrease the liquid by 5%. This is because Whole Grain Einkorn Flour will absorb more liquid than All-Purpose Einkorn Flour.
