Prep Time 1

Cook Time 35

Servings 1 loaf

1¼ cup warm water
1 TBS honey or sugar
3 TBS lard or butter melted
2¼ tsp yeast equivalent of one packet
4 cups Einkorn Flour You can use ½ whole grain einkorn and ½ all purpose einkorn if you'd like
1½ tsp salt

Activate the Yeast – In a large bowl, mix warm water, honey (or sugar), and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy. This is the historic standard for using yeast, the truth is, you really don't have to preactivate it. You can if you want, but it will become active if you mix it in with everything else anyway!
Mix the Dough – Add melted lard or butter, then gradually incorporate the Einkorn flour and salt. Stir until combined, then knead lightly until the dough forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.
First Rise – Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 25 minutes in a warm spot.
Shape the Loaf – Gently deflate the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it into a greased loaf pan.
Second Rise – Cover and let it rise again for about 25 minutes or until slightly puffed.
Bake – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool and Enjoy – Let the loaf cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy.
