Einkorn Loaf Bread

By Kirsten Maxwell April 4, 2023 35 mins read 140 Views

In my last post I mentioned that I prefer single-serve and individual breads. This recipe is my go-to when I need a loaf of bread that can serve more than two people. This was an adaptation of my Lupin Flour Bread recipe. I discovered that I am allergic to lupin flour.

This bread is even liked by my husband, who can be difficult to please when it comes to low-carb bread. This bread has the same chewy texture as traditional yeast breads. Although I added some dissolved yeast, I believe it only affects flavor and not rise. The boiling water that the psyllium needs would destroy the yeast's rising action. There isn't enough gluten in 2 T. Einkorn bread flour to give yeast "action". This does however give the flour a yeasty taste.

This loaf can be cut into 14 1/2" slices or 28 1/4" slices. This bread is strong enough to cut into 1/4" slices. WOO HOO! The sandwich doesn't rise very high so they aren't big. However, at 1.12g net carbs per thin slice, who cares? If you're looking for a quick way to eat two sandwiches, that's all it takes!

This bread doesn't toast as well as low-carb breads so I use it mostly to make sandwiches and croutons. The crust is delicious and toasts well.

I order my non-GMO Einkorn flour direct from Jovial Foods. It's been found in Safeway and other stores, but it has not been available for me. It is not as costly as low-carb baking ingredient. Einkorn is a real, ancient, un-hybridized wheat. In baking recipes, I only use the very smallest amounts. It provides a lot of texture and flavor with very few carbs. This recipe is not recommended for those who are close to their goal weight (Pre-Maintenance).

DRYING INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup almond flour

2 T. Einkorn flour

1/2 c. eggwhite protein powder (I use the NOW brand).

2 T. oat fibre

2 T. coconut flour

1 T. baking powder

2 T. golden flax meal

1/4 tsp. 1/4 tsp. sea salt

3 T. psyllium Husk Powder (I use the NOW brand).

WET INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp. Dry yeast, dissolved in 2 T. warm liquid + 1 T. Sugar (consumed by yeast)

5 large eggs, beaten

3 T. olive oil

1/4 cup egg whites (I used carton whites).

1/2 c. boiling Water (added last).

DIRECTIONS Heat oven to 350o Oil or grease a 5x8" loaf pan. Mix the yeast with 2 T. warm water. Add a pinch of sugar. Set aside. Measure all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well. Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add the remaining 4 wet ingredients (all except the boiling water) to the bowl and beat well with a fork. Mix the dissolved yeast mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Beat well with a rubber spatula. Slowly add the boiling water and beat the batter until it is free from lumps. This is how you get a smoother crust. Put the batter in a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350o for 30 mins. Check for doneness using a toothpick. Cook for 5-10 minutes more if the batter is not cooked. Take out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. The following statistics are for 14 slices of 1/2 inch thick. You can also find numbers for the entire loaf to help you figure out how many slices you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat a dairy-free, keto diet?

Absolutely! You can! A keto diet plan should limit carb intake and increase your intake of healthy fats. However, there are plenty of plant-based alternative options to choose from to stay within your chosen guidelines.

First, choose the right fats and proteins for your needs. Avocado oil, coconut oil, tahini and nut butter all make great substitutes for butter. As an alternative source of protein, meat substitutes such as tempeh or tofu can be used. Nuts are great for their crunchy texture.

If you are looking for sweets, creamy coconut cream or plant-based yogurts work well as substitutes for heavy cream. Vegan cheeses made with cashews and macadamia nuts can be substituted for dairy cheese by cheese lovers.

Finally, don't forget other seasoning options when making your dishes stand out! Spices, vinegars, citrus juices and herbs can all be used to flavor food so they have a unique flavor, regardless of whether they contain dairy. As long as you remember the principles of the ketogenic diet while simultaneously recognizing tasty solutions around those food restrictions, you'll be able to maintain a successful dairy-free keto plan!

Is the first week in keto the hardest?

Preparing for the first week of a keto diet is often daunting. It involves significant lifestyle changes and forces most people to step out of their comfort zone. The idea that you're saying goodbye to your favourite high-carb foods can be intimidating.

But don't fear! Don't worry! With the right support and information, this will be one the most rewarding weeks you ever have. With perseverance and dedication, you can not only survive, but thrive on ketogenic eating.

The key to making this daunting task manageable is mental fortitude. You can also take tangible steps before entering ketosis.

What happens when you exceed 20 carbs in keto?
