BEER BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Pour beer into a bowl and let stand at room temperature for a few hours to go flat.
• Place all ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer's directions.
• Set crust on dark and program for the Basic cycle; press Start.
• When the baking cycle ends, immediately remove the bread from the pan and place it on a rack.
• Let cool to room temperature before slicing.

HOW TO MAKE EINKORN BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes. You'll notice that the yeast begins to foam and sink.
• Whisk in the honey, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Add the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon just until it becomes too hard to stir the mixture with a spoon. Your hands will get messy for this next part, that's just part of the bread-making process.
• Use your fingertips to bring the rest of the flour into the dough mixture. This may require gently kneading the dough a couple of times. Einkorn doesn't like to be messed with, so do not overwork the dough. Stop "kneading" once the flour has been combined with the wet ingredients. The dough will probably feel and look sticky. That's okay! Einkorn slowly absorbs liquid ingredients, so as it rests, it will absorb more of the liquids.
• Cover the dough with a towel, and let it rest and double in size for about an hour. I've let my dough rest for an entire afternoon without issue. The goal here is at least an hour resting time. Keep in mind that if your home is very humid and hot, the dough may get stickier.
• Once the dough has doubled in size (about an hour), coat your hands with a bit of flour (this is optional, but it makes working with the dough easier), and form the dough into a loaf. I simply grab the dough, and shape it into a loaf. Einkorn is a bit sticky to roll out. If your dough is too sticky to handle, add just a couple of tablespoons of flour to the dough (until you reach a workable consistency), but remember not to overwork the dough while adding the flour.
• Place the loaf in a standard-size bread pan that's been greased or lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 375F. Cover the bread with a towel, and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. The bread will again begin to rise and double in size. After 30 minutes, place the bread (with the towel removed) in the oven (preferably in the center of your oven), and bake for about 35 minutes. I've had to go as long as 40 minutes in the past, due to opening the oven door a couple of times while baking. The bread should have a golden crust and should have (imperfect) "lifted" sides.
• I know it's tempting to eat the bread fresh from the oven, but it's best to allow the bread to cool to room temperature before slicing.

HOW TO MAKE EINKORN BREAD IN THE BREAD MACHINE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1.Add the liquids, fats, sweetener, and salt to the loaf pan. 2.Place the flour on top of the liquids. 3.Make a shallow well in the center of the flour and add the yeast. 4.Set and start the custom cycle for einkorn bread as indicated above. Because einkorn is very sticky, the dough may be more likely to stick to the sides of the pan during kneading, resulting in a lopsided bread. If you are home, you can scrape down the sides as needed with a spatula before baking. 5.Once the cycle is complete, remove the pan from the machine and allow the loaf to cool for 5 minutes. 6.Turn out the bread on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 1-2 hours before slicing. Slicing warm einkorn bread is not recommended.
