Author: These 27 tried-and-true einkorn recipes are sure to help you get started baking with einkorn the easy way! Plus, they are all classic family favorites that will get a big thumbs up from even the pickiest eater!
Ok, ok… I’ll admit it. I’m kinda obsessed with einkorn! And really, it’s no wonder… Not only does it taste amazing, but it also allows my family (most of whom have severe reactions to gluten) to enjoy our favorite recipes without trying to convert the measurements to fit alternative flours.
But wait, doesn’t einkorn contain gluten?
It does, yes. However, einkorn doesn’t contain the type of gluten that triggers a gluten response. In fact, the author of the book Wheat Belly, Dr. William Davis, excluded einkorn from his statements regarding wheat as the einkorn flour doesn’t cause the body to react in the same way that other wheat does!

I am a little surprised to find a website devoted to Einkorn flour! I have been using it for a year or less-
(not sure of the time frame). Other than the company that I buy it from -(the company of course has a list of recipes).
I did purchase their book, but I also play around with my own recipes when I use this flour.
I have a question: do you have a recipe for sourdough drop biscuits with Einkorn?
sincerely, D
Hi D! I’m glad you found me! It’s all we use on this site and you can see my full einkorn archives here: https://www.amodernhomestead.com/category/einkorn-flour/
As for a sourdough drop biscuit, I don’t have a recipe for that developed yet. However, these non-sourdough einkorn drop biscuits are amazing!!
I hope that helps, and I hope to see you back often! :-)
I love the sandwich bread recipe. I have made the german break recipe with einkorn berries, flax, etc, and it calls for a cup of warm beer. Can I use beer in the sandwich bread recipe or would that be too yeasty? Thanks! I actually went out shopping between rises and it rose higher and was better than the 25 minutes suggested. Thanks again!
Hi Barbara! I’m sorry I’m just now getting back to you, things have been insane here. :-)
I haven’t ever used beer in a bread recipe, so sadly I can’t comment on this. As for the extra rise time, I used to suggest a 90 minute rise for this recipe, but after a lot of testing have found that the 25 minute rise yields a tighter crumb and more sturdy slice. That’s for all purpose einkorn though, so it sounds like you might using berries, which could make a difference!
I’m so glad you discovered the extended rise time works better for you! :-)
I prefer to grind my own einkorn berries rather than purchase all purpose flour, which is not as cost efficient for me. Do you happen to have a formula to convert freshly ground berries to all purpose flour?
I prefer to grind my own einkorn berries rather than purchase all purpose flour, which is not as cost efficient for me. Do you happen to have a formula to convert freshly ground berries to all purpose flour? I’m just getting started with your website, so am not sure – do you always use the all purpose einkorn flour or do you sometimes mill your own? Some einkorn recipes elsewhere distinguish the two by calling it either einkorn flour (for freshly ground) or einkorn all purpose flour. I noticed on one of your recipes that called for einkorn flour that your link directed me to Jovial’s all purpose flour on Amazon. I just don’t like to use pre-ground flour for the sake of cost and also for peak freshness.
Hi Naomi! I do actually have a modern wheat to einkorn conversion chart here! For converting AP einkorn to WW einkorn, I reduce the total wheat used by 25%. So, for every cup of AP called for, I used 3/4 cup of WW (freshly ground or purchased, either way).
I hope that helps!
