Organic Einkorn Wholegrain Flour (1kg)
Einkorn or triticum monococcum, was the original wheat, developed over 20,000 years ago. We have been growing einkorn on our farm since 2008 and think the flour is perfect for bread baking. It grows on tall stalks which are distinguished by their short, flat, two row seed head which enclose small grains in an inedible husk. After harvest we remove the husk and mill the grain into a soft golden flour on our millstones.
Einkorn Flour makes great rustic style breads and pizza bases either on its own or blended half and half with white bread flour. Add baking powder to einkorn to make artisan style cakes.

Thank you very much for bringing Einkorn Wheat back into the world. I appreciate the extra care and attention this grain variety takes to produce.
As soon as I had the bag open I knew I was looking at something very special. It was the colour of fine linen that darkened to gold when moistened and has a sturdy silkiness to it without yielding the dense heaviness of a standard whole wheat flour. The taste of Einkorn is completely distinctive yet isn't so assertive that it fights with other flavours. The blueberry muffins I made with it were unlike any I had ever eaten; the crumb was delicate, the flavour nutty and toasted and the colour was wonderful.
I also have a commercial pizza oven that cooks in 3-4 minutes on superheated stones and Einkorn made the most rewarding dough I've ever experienced: Light and strong at the same time, perfect for supporting a variety of pizza ingredients.
Rather than use cheap flour I would rather bake less often and bake with the best and Doves Farm has always come through for me.
