Whole Wheat and Einkorn Biga Boules

Profile picture for user LevaiNation

This weekend I went ahead and made some Einkorn loaves by adjusting K. Forkish's 50% WW Biga bread recipe. The results were fan-tas-tico! 

My first Einkorn loaf using 100% of this ancient grain turned out very nice, yet a little dense with not so much rise. I'm gonna work my way back to that loaf and try to perfect it, but first I wanted to play around with different blends.

Hello bread peeps, 

This is my first blog entry! Just wanted to share that today I baked a 100% Einkorn loaf based on FWSY polish recipe, and it turned out delicious! A little dense and not too big but super interesting flavor and a gorgeous golden color. I had never tried this type of bread, and it reminds me of something that I can't yet put my finger (or taste buds) on. It's quite sweet and cake like with a very different texture. Kids loved it so much I had to hide it....
