Einkorn vs. Emmer

Test how two different ancient grains perform in a direct comparison.

Both of the recipes are exactly the same with only the flour being changed.

The whole bake has been recorded here.

Bread 1

I followed the Einkorn bread recipe.

Bread 2

I followed the Emmer bread recipe.

Result

Both of the breads were quite similar when baking. The doughs felt very sticky, almost like a rye dough. The emmer crumb looks a lot like a rye crumb. The Einkorn crumb has a distinct yellowish color.

Taste wise both of them had a distinct rich taste. They were in the middle of wheat and rye. Rye has a stronger taste. It felt like a really smooth experience.

There is no winner here, both of them are equally great.
