Gluten sensitive? Have you heard of this ancient grain? Let the happy dancin’ begin!!!
ππ₯π₯
EINKORN-Einkorn is a healthy grain with a high content of protein, phosphorous, vitamin B6 and potassium when compared to modern forms of wheat. It also has plenty of carotenoids β the natural red, yellow or orange pigments that are found in many vegetables and fruits, and in a few grains. Carotenoids have the medical properties that help in preventing serious diseases such as cancer.

Why Switch to Einkorn Wheat?
Considering the fact that einkorn is the most genetically primitive and ancient form of cultivated wheat, its very different from the wheat we eat today.
Because Einkorn is easier to digest than modern wheat, it aids digestion. Nutrients are better absorbed, ensuring that you have no tummy problems after consuming a delicious dish cooked with einkorn flour.
ππ₯π₯
Einkorn has a different kind of gluten compared with modern wheat because it does not contain the D Genome, only the A genome. This is significant because the most popular test for detecting the presence of gluten is based on the presence of the D genome. Although Einkorn does contain gluten, itβs a different type of gluten, and will not fail an Elisa test.
ππ₯π₯
Einkorn is similar to most plants as itβs a diploid. This means that two sets of chromosomes are present in them, unlike emmer wheat which has four sets, or spelt (and modern bread wheat) which have six sets. Einkorn is clearly the most ancient and purest type of wheat as there are only two sets of chromosomes, meaning that its natural gluten content is low, making it a healthy food.

~In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let sit until itβs frothy.
~Using the dough hook, add the egg, salt, and 2 cups of the all-purpose einkorn flour. Beat on low speed and add flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the mixing bowl. Itβs okay if you havenβt used all of the flour.

~Sprinkle the remaining flour onto the countertop and divide the dough into 2 large, equal portions. Add a little of the flour to your rolling pin and roll the dough into a 14β³-16β³ circle.
~Melt 1/4 cup butter and using a pastry brush, brush the butter on the dough.
