Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1 cup whole grain
einkorn flour
2/3 cup all purpose
einkorn flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar or
honey
1-2 cups shredded or chopped cheddar cheese
11-12 oz cold beer
2 tablespoons
coconut oil, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees ºF. Grease a loaf pan with extra coconut oil and set aside.

Whisk all dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add cheese, beer and coconut oil and stir just a few times to moisten. Mix as little as possible – batter will be lumpy.

Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick tester comes out clean. Run a butter knife along edges of bread after cooling for a few minutes to loosen and turn out onto a cutting board to slice and serve.

Linda – Its shelf life is pretty much the same as regular wheat. You’ll have to do some adjusting for Einkorn. It’s not quite as absorbant as regular wheat so you’ll have to use a bit more, usually roughly about 30-50% and it glutenizes faster so try to mix as little as you possibly can! Also, it doesn’t always act like regular wheat flour, but does well in recipes that have a high liquid content (pancakes, muffins, quick breads, etc.). Yeast breads are another story though.

How long will this flour stay fresh?  What is the best way to store it?  Can it be substituted in my recipes that call for regular flour?  I am concern about ordering 5lbs of it.

Janet: The einkorn in the ingredients is hyperlinked to the product page. If you click on it, it will take you straight to where you can read more about it and purchase it as well.
