This white Einkorn bread is fluffy, tender, and loaded with flavor. It's a simple recipe that's perfect for uses as sandwich bread or for making French Toast.
Grease 2 8.5" x 4.5" bread pans with butter and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and honey and stir well. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes bubbly.
Once the yeast has proofed, add the avocado oil, salt, and about 2 cups of einkorn flour. Using the dough hook attachment, mix until combined and then for 2-3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.
Continue to add einkorn flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the mixing bowl. You may need up to 1/2 cup of additional flour. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Once doubled, gently press the dough down and then allow it to rise again until doubled.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
After the dough has risen twice, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces. Shape each ball of dough into a roughly 6" x 6" square. Roll the dough up and tuck the edges under, then place into the greased bread pans.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each loaf, then allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
