Step 1

*Optional: Proof the yeast by combining the 1 packet of active-dry yeast, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 1 cup of water in a bowl and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. If you decide not to proof your yeast, then mix the yeast in with the dry ingredients and omit the sugar.

Step 2

Mix the 3 cups of einkorn flour, 1 1/2 tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of olive oil together in a bowl. Pour in the water mixture and mix until all of the flour is incorporated.

Step 3

Cover and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Flour your work surface and plop the dough onto it. Then, fold each side onto the middle (see pictures for an example) until it resembles a square.

Step 5

Oil your bowl and put the dough back. Cover and let it rest in a warm spot for 1 hr. 30 min. It will NOT double in size.

Step 6

After the dough has rested, pull it out onto a floured surface and flatten it into a rough rectangle. You can also use the residual oil from the bowl to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Starting from the long side, roll the dough up into a log. Tuck the ends in and flip it over.

Step 8

Let it rest, covered, on a greased baking sheet for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C.

Step 10

When it is done resting, slice three diagonal lines into the top of the dough.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!
