If you’re anything like me, you like to occasionally enjoy a nice slice of homemade bread, a cookie, or perhaps a cupcake–especially around holidays. When I eat something that might not be the healthiest, I try to prepare it with real, wholesome ingredients.
If you’ve read my article, Are You Still Eating Wheat?, you probably already know why this recipe is healthier than other bread recipes. Not only does it contain einkorn flour, it has milk kefir, a fermented milk, which acts as a preservative. This bread will stay fresh for longer than loaves made with water or milk.
Einkorn, is our oldest wheat and the only one left that has not been hybridized. Today, most wheat is sprayed with glyphosate before harvest. The wheat flour I’ve listed in my recipe from *Tropical Traditions is tested for and does not contain glyphosate. It has a lower gliadin to glutenin ratio than modern wheat and can be tolerated by some who have gluten intolerance. DO NOT eat this wheat or wheat bread, if a doctor has instructed you to avoid wheat or gluten!
