No Salt Added Einkorn Bread Machine Bread

 

.

On a sodium-restricted or dairy-free diet?  This no dairy extremely low sodium bread with Einkorn flour makes a great loaf for toast or sandwiches (I love hummus with vegetables).  On its own, it's fairly bland with no salt, but it has a great, soft texture with a crispy crust and it's less than 60 mg of sodium FOR THE WHOLE LOAF!

No Salt Added Einkorn Bread Machine Bread

1 cup WARM water MINUS 1 1/2 teaspoons (about 110 degrees F)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1⁄4 teaspoons sugar

1 1⁄4 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast

3 1⁄4 cups Einkorn flour

1 egg white

DIRECTIONS

Combine water and sugar, dissolve sugar.

Add yeast to sugar water.

Put flour, yeast mixture, and olive oil into the breadmaker.

Start the breadmaker on the 2-pound cycle with a plain or French loaf setting on your machine. Einkorn is a flour you don't want to overcook so set crust on "light" or "medium" only.

When ingredients are almost completely combined (about 4 minutes in), pause the machine and add egg white, scraping down the sides of the pan.

When the breadmaker has its first “rest” (at about 15 minutes on mine) scrape down the sides again, adding that to the ball of dough if there is anything sticking to the sides.

Allow breadmaker to complete baking.

Einkorn Swedish Waffles

These take just a few moments to make, are extremely low sodium (less than 30 mg a waffle) and are low gluten.  Many people who do NOT have Celiac disease but are sensitive to wheat can eat products made with Einkorn flour.  For this batch, I used flour from Young Living.  Jovial also makes an excellent Einkorn flour.

1 1/4 cup Einkorn flour

2/3  cup goat milk kefir (or regular kefir - I just don't digest cow dairy well)

1/3 cup water (add additional Tablespoon if the batter is too thick)

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 heaping Tablespoon sugar

small dollop of healthy oil (olive, avocado, or coconut)

1 Tablespoon Hain Sodium free baking powder

Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls - combine then stir just until combined.  Use a 1/3 cup measure to fill your Swedish waffle iron.  Makes 5.
