While I realize not everyone here would agree with eating sourdough bread, I am still in search of some support for making sourdough with einkorn. I have a starter that feeds off of sugar, potato flakes and water. Has anyone ever used this starter before and successfully used einkorn as the flour?
For perspective, I haven't been able to eat dairy in many, many years (except quality butter). I also haven't been able to eat gluten for as long or longer. Through diet and lifestyle changes that include "p'eating" and related methods, I am now able to tolerate very well raw dairy (milk, cheeses, etc.). I see einkorn as the 'raw dairy' of the wheat world and would very much like to enjoy it from time to time. Since I used to successfully make sourdough bread using the potato/sugar starter a long time ago, I'm trying to master it again only using einkorn. The trouble is, it doesn't respond the way traditional bread flour does. Any insight would be appreciated.
And, to be clear, I recognize not everyone will be in favor of any bread in any form. Indulge me, please, and know that, at my st(age) in life, an occasional slice of high quality homemade sourdough bread (well tolerated) slathered with a fat pat of grass fed butter will do more for my health than stressing about the ins and outs of why I shouldn't be indulging in it.
Thank you kindly!
