Einkorn Bread Machine Sandwich Bread Recipe

Because we live in a TINY house, I try to cut down on the number of appliances I have (says the girl with a home freeze dryer in her kitchen). Generally, if I can do it by hand, I try to avoid the appliance.

Like bread making, for example. I used to use a bread machine back in the day, and it was amazing! Hands-off, no effort, pop the finished product out, and enjoy! But once we moved, I really had to take a good, long look at that bread machine. Eventually, we got rid of it and opted for my easy no-knead einkorn bread recipe for daily (weekly) use!

However, many of my readers still have room for their bread machines, and they have asked for an einkorn bread machine sandwich bread recipe! So I borrowed my mom’s bread machine and spent about 2 weeks perfecting an einkorn sandwich bread recipe for the bread machine.

This einkorn bread machine recipe yields a light but sturdy sandwich bread!

Ingredients

Here’s a look at all the ingredients, some required, some optional, that go into this einkorn bread machine sandwich bread. There are several variations and substitutions listed below, so be sure to look over this section closely. The full measurements are available in the printable recipe at the end of the post.

• Einkorn Flour – We use all-purpose einkorn flour for this recipe.
• Yeast – I’ve used both instant yeast and dry active in this recipe, and they both work just fine. Instant yeast is my preference, however.
• Salt – Beyond enhancing the flavor, the salt helps to condition the bread dough for a softer finished product.
• Butter – We use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe, whatever is on hand. However, you can also use any type of oil you prefer.
• Egg – While this is optional, it enhances not only the flavor, but the structure of the bread as well.
• Ginger Powder – Technically, this is optional as well, but it is highly recommended! The gluten bonds in einkorn, which are not the same gluten that triggers celiac disease, are very weak. The ginger helps them form better and results in a stronger, less crumbly bread.

Instructions

While bread machine bread is incredibly simple, there are a few things you can do to make the process even smoother, including removing the metal mixing paddle and cooling the bread properly before slicing.

• Combine – Add all ingredients to the bread machine bowl.
• Set – Choose a 2-rise bread setting. There may be more than one on your machine, so try one and see how it goes, then try the other for reference. I have not found that it matters too much which setting is used.
• Bake – Start the machine and wait for the end of the first rise. Remove the metal mixing paddle and shape the dough gently before adding it back to the machine pan. Allow the second rise and normal baking time to continue.
• Cool – Remove the pan from the machine when it’s done, but allow the bread to cool for 30 minutes before removing it from the pan. 
• Slice – Allow bread to cool fully before cutting to avoid crumbly bread.
