What Is Einkorn Flour?
Einkorn flour is milled from one of the earliest cultivated wheat species, often referred to as an ancient grain flour. Unlike modern hybridised wheat, einkorn remains a single grain species that has changed very little over time. This organic einkorn flour from Love My Earth is grown in Bulgaria and stone milled from the small, delicate kernels of heritage wheat.
For Australian home bakers looking beyond conventional plain flour, einkorn flour offers a traditional alternative grounded in agricultural history. Its fine texture makes it suitable for everyday baking while retaining the character of ancient grain flour.
Why Choose Organic Einkorn Flour?
Choosing organic einkorn flour means working with a flour that reflects older grain varieties rather than modern, heavily bred wheat. As a heritage wheat, einkorn has a naturally different protein structure compared to common wheat varieties.
Love My Earth organic einkorn flour is certified organic and carefully milled to preserve the integrity of the grain. For those interested in traditional baking methods or artisan style recipes, einkorn flour provides a considered, minimally processed option.
Baking With Einkorn Flour
Einkorn flour behaves differently to standard wheat flour. Dough made with einkorn flour is typically softer and requires gentler handling. It absorbs liquid differently and often benefits from reduced mixing times.
This organic einkorn flour can be used in sourdough loaves, flatbreads, pancakes, muffins and rustic cakes. Many bakers substitute part or all of their regular flour when experimenting with ancient grain recipes.
Einkorn Flour vs Modern Wheat
One of the most common questions is how einkorn flour differs from regular flour. Einkorn is a single grain species, whereas most modern wheat has been hybridised over generations to improve yield and baking performance. This means einkorn flour has a different gluten structure and protein composition compared to standard wheat flour.
In practical terms, einkorn flour forms a softer, more delicate dough. It does not behave exactly like strong baker’s flour and is often better suited to slower, more traditional baking approaches. Many Bakers appreciate einkorn flour for its heritage wheat background and connection to early grain cultivation.
