No Yeast Einkorn Bread Recipe ~ Ready in One Hour! (1)

If you love making bread, but cannot always wait for the dough to rise and then be punched down and then to rise again…..then you must try this homemade bread that uses baking soda, baking powder and vinegar as the rising agents.

This recipe is ready-to-eat in one hour….Really, only one hour!!!

I have reworked my original recipe to reduce the baking soda, baking powder and vinegar. Plus, I increased the salt just a little bit. I also reduced the heat and bake time.

In doing so, this has created a fine texture, soft bread with a chewy crust……so, if this your ideal in a quick and easy bread recipe, then I really think you will love this one!

This is not your typical store bought white bread. This homemade delicious bread without yeast recipe is a bit denser and heartier.

This incredibly simple no yeast bread recipe is made with everyday pantry items, things that you will have on hand to make cookies and quick breads.

Oh, and a little butter, avocado oil or olive oil to brush on top to make a softer crust…….it is that simple!

I really like using avocado oil instead of regular vegetable oil as avocado oil is one of the top healthiest oils ever!

Instructions:

Step One:

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.

Step Two:

Combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar in a medium to large bowl with a wooden spoon.

Step Three:

Add the vinegar and the water, (remembering to reduce this down if using Einkorn Flour) Mix to combine into a ball.

Step Four:

Gently work with hands adding a tablespoon of flour at a time, if the dough is sticky. Knead the dough just a little to work everything together. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.

You may even want to turn your dough on a floured surface to help to combine the ingredients.

(This can really be a recipe for no-knead as the kneading is just enough to combine the ingredients!)

Important: When using Einkorn Flour, I let the dough rest for about 5 to 10 minutes to let the flour absorb the water before adding more flour to achieve proper consistency. For best results, do not add too much extra flour but just enough flour so you can handle the bread dough.

Step Five:

Place the dough on an ungreased cast iron skillet or griddle or a cookie sheet. You may even want to try using a loaf pan to see how it turns out!

Step Six:

Press the ball of dough into a round circle so it is about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick overall.

Step Seven:

Score the top of the loaf 1/8 inch deep with a cross, X or # design using a serrated knife dipped in flour.

Important Note: Again, if using Einkorn Flour, let your loaf rest ( similar to let the bread rise) for approximately 10 minutes prior to baking. (This give the Einkorn Flour time to absorb the liquid.)

Step Eight:

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Step: Nine

Take from the oven and lightly spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the crust. Return to oven and continue baking 10 more minutes.

Step: Ten

When finished baking, remove from oven. The loaf is finished baking if the bottom sounds hollow when lightly tapped.

Step: Eleven

Cool for 10 minutes if you are able to wait that long.

Step: Twelve

Carefully slice with a serrated bread knife being carefully to slice through the bread and not push down to smush it.

Serve warm with butter and maybe even jam! (delicious!)

Notes:

This No Yeast Bread is delicious served warm but is also quite good after cooling. It makes excellent toast when served with butter and jam.

It is best used within a day or two. Freeze any leftovers for later on.

Do not be too hard on yourself the first time to bake bread. Keep developing your skills as practice makes perfect……Happy Baking!

The unbleached einkorn version can be considered as all purpose einkorn flour. I have gotten to the point, that unbleached einkorn flour is now my everyday regular flour.

I have not tried this recipe with einkorn whole wheat flour but, that is for next time!

Pro Tip:to freeze leftovers-first cut into slices and place in a freezer container or freezer bag. This way you will be able to remove one slice or more at a time for toast, sandwiches or French Toast.

Einkorn is unique and has gluten that is quite different than modern wheat. The same properties that make it easier to digest can make it a bit more difficult to bake with than wheat with stretchier gluten.

Why is my einkorn bread so dense? ›

If your bread dough mixes up at a normal texture because you add more flour to lessen its sticky texture, your dough will end up drying up and baking dense later because einkorn absorbs liquids much slower than regular wheat.

Why is it important to bake quick bread immediately? ›

Quick breads use the chemical leavening agents of baking powder and/or baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda do not require time for rising, so the batter for quick bread is cooked immediately after mixing.

What is the best flour for sourdough einkorn? ›

I use both whole grain einkorn flour and all-purpose einkorn flour. I found this combination to be best for creating a delightful texture.

Some recipes call for doing the series of folding the dough every hour for three hours, some only once.

Then you fold dough one last time and shape it for baking and let rest for 30 to 60 minutes, then bake.

Why soak einkorn flour? ›

Soaking them for at least seven hours allows the enzymes to break down and neutralize the phytic acid. Then, more of the good nutrients in the grain are released and all the good stuff is more readily absorbed in our systems and the grain is digested much more easily.

Why is einkorn dough so sticky? ›

While einkorn is high in protein, its gluten properties aren't the same as modern wheat. This results in a dough that can be overly sticky and wet by the end of bulk fermentation.

How can I make my bread fluffier instead of dense? ›

Add Sugar

Adding sugar weakens the gluten structure, absorbs water, and eventually makes the bread lighter and softer. As a result, sugar improves the bread's taste, structure and texture. Yeast also eats up sugar to produce carbon dioxide, which raises the dough and makes bread fluffy.

What is the quick bread method? ›

Quick breads are prepared by the blending-, creaming-, or biscuit-method which determines the final texture and crumb of the finished product. The blending-method, also known as the muffin-method, combines the wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in a second bowl before mixing together.

What is another name for einkorn flour? ›

Does einkorn flour need more water? ›

A 100% einkorn dough should be lower hydration and preferably not handled much as the more it's kneaded the stickier it gets. For 100% wholegrain einkorn go for 70% hydration, 10% starter, 2% salt and treat as a no knead bread. Mix the starter into the water until fully distributed.

Can you make a sourdough starter with einkorn? ›

Since einkorn is a little more expensive than wheat flour or all-purpose, I feed my starter with 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup water. For making an einkorn sourdough starter, I prefer to use all-purpose einkorn flour over whole wheat. If you choose to use whole wheat einkorn, you will need a little less flour.

How is einkorn different from modern wheat? ›

It lacks the gluten proteins that trigger symptoms of gluten sensitivity. It is higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates than modern wheat. It is richer in carotenoids, B vitamins, and essential and trace minerals than modern wheat.

Is einkorn flour good for baking bread? ›

Einkorn is about as different from modern wheat as you can get (and still be wheat).

Can I use einkorn flour in place of all purpose flour? ›

Einkorn Flour absorbs less water and at a much slower pace than all purpose flour. Because of this, a great conversion rate in recipes is to use an extra 1/4 cup of einkorn for every 1 cup of all purpose.
