A homemade and nourishing whole-grain Einkorn Bread with sunflower seeds! The recipe is 100% plant-based (no eggs and dairy-free). This Einkorn bread is super healthy as it has no oil at all.
In a small bowl combine 1 cup of WARM water with the yeast, add the brown sugar, and 1 tbsp flour. Wait about 10-15 mins or until bubbles are formed (now you know for sure that your yeast is alive and your bread is going to rise). You can skip this step (*see notes).
In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, sunflower seeds, add the activated yeast and the other cup of water. Mix everything well with a spoon (you don`t have to knead) until a sticky well-combined dough is formed.
Line a round baking pan with parchment paper and transfer the dough into it.
Cover and leave to a warm place for about 30 mins to rise.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Once the 30 minutes have passed and the dough has risen, bake it for 40-45 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool for a while.
Notes
You can skip the first step (it is just a test to know if your yeast is alive) or when you use instant yeast. Simply mix everything well.
The formed dough is very sticky, you can smooth the surface of your bread with a wet hand.
