ABOUT WHOLE WHEAT EINKORN FLATBREAD

Enjoy the true taste of Einkorn wheat in these simple flatbreads made from fresh milled Einkorn wheat berries.

Add boiling water, olive oil, honey and sea salt. Nothing else. Skip sourdough starter, yeast, baking soda, and baking powder.

Mixing the dough only takes a few minutes. After one minute of folding, the dough needs a two-hour rest before cooking on a dry, hot cast iron griddle for approximately 1-2 minutes.

After cooking, immediately wrap the einkorn flatbread in a towel for soft, warm whole wheat flatbread. If you plan on serving them with butter, you can rub them with butter before placing them in the towel.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Once you roll one out, immediately transfer it to the pan or it may become too soft and difficult to transfer. Once it’s done, roll out the next one.
Wrap each flatbread inside a towel as it comes off the comal to trap the steam. Keep them warm until serving.

WHAT TO AVOID

Avoid not using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients.
Don’t use all-purpose flour. Use whole wheat Einkorn flour.
