@sarahavankirk: First homemade loaf of eikorn/bread flour. Grandma would be proud! #breadmaker #homemadebread #kbsbreadmaker #einkorn #pillsbury Here are the step-by-step instructions for your 1.5 lb Einkorn & Pillsbury Bread Flour loaf using the KBS Bread Machine on the Quick Setting. ## Ingredients Refresher * Liquids: 1 cup Warm Water (105-115°F), 2 tbsp Softened Butter, 2 tbsp Honey/Sugar. * Dry: 1 cup Einkorn Flour, 3 cups Pillsbury Bread Flour, 1.25 tsp Salt. * Yeast: 2.25 tsp Instant/Bread Machine Yeast. * Optional: 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger (to help the Einkorn rise). ------------------------------ ## Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Layer the Liquids: Pour the warm water, softened butter, and honey into the KBS bread pan. Always start with liquids to ensure the machine doesn't struggle to incorporate dry pockets at the bottom. 2. Add the Flour Shield: Carefully pour the Pillsbury Bread Flour and the Einkorn Flour over the liquids. Spread it out so it completely covers the water. Sprinkle the salt (and optional ginger) around the edges of the flour. 3. The Yeast Well: Use your finger to make a small, shallow "well" in the center of the flour pile. Make sure the well isn't deep enough to touch the water below. Pour the 2.25 tsp of yeast into this hole. 4. Set the Machine: * Place the pan into the KBS machine and lock it in. * Select the Quick Setting (usually Program or depending on your KBS model). * Select the 1.5 lb Loaf Size. * Choose your preferred Crust Color (Medium is usually best for this blend). 5. The 5-Minute Check (Critical): About 5–8 minutes into the kneading cycle, open the lid. * The Goal: A smooth, tacky ball of dough that clears the sides of the pan. * The Fix: Because Einkorn absorbs water slowly, the dough might look like a thick batter. If it's too sticky to form a ball, add 1 tablespoon of Pillsbury flour at a time until it firms up. 6. Hands Off: Once the knead is done, close the lid and do not open it again. The Quick Setting moves fast, and Einkorn gluten is fragile; opening the lid during the rise can cause the loaf to collapse. 7. Cooling: When the machine beeps, remove the pan immediately. Let the bread sit in the pan for about 5–10 minutes to "sweat" slightly (this makes it easier to remove), then shake it out onto a wire rack. 8. Wait to Slice: Let it cool for at least 30–60 minutes. Slicing Einkorn bread while hot can make the interior feel gummy.
