Fun with Einkorn

knormie on 22 Jan 2017 at 12:17

I found a local source for Einkorn and am really enjoying it.  I'm using Tartine 3 as inspiration and it comes out delicious and bakes beautifully.

75% Central Milling bakers craft plus

25% Jovial whole wheat einkorn

7% Bob's red mill wheat germ

2.2% salt

20% mature starter at 100% hydration

80% water

Usual Tartine process.

It does not last long.

Incredible. How do they taste ? I've tried einkorn (jovial in fact) and disliked the flavor however that wasn't a mix as you've done here. I actually have a few pounds of central milling t70 and might give this a try but first very intrigued as to how these taste :)

Einkorn is not available locally so I have no idea what it tastes like. I could order it online but I am still working my way through the stash of flours, seeds and grains I have in the downstairs fridge. 

I hope you post a crumb shot. 

Here is the crumb.  It is quite hearty.  Surprisingly so for being only 25% whole Einkorn.  Nutty and savory.  It stood up well with beef stew.  A great combination for a stormy night.
