Einkorn Bread with Walnuts
For this walnut bread, nearly half of the whole grain einkorn flour is used in the predough stages. The sourdough is mixed at 30°C and matures warm over 10-12 hours. The scald is made of spelt flakes, roasted walnuts and whole grain einkorn flour and must be kept in the fridge until being used. The honey in the main dough adds a light sweet note. Those who prefer a maltier taste can use barley malt instead of honey.
