The Kendrick Family Biscuit Recipe
- 3 cups sprouted einkorn flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter or lard
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup thin villi culture yogurt (can substitute buttermilk, cultured milk, or kefir)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix together flour, salt and baking powder. You can sift it into a bowl, or you can just put in the bowl and whisk together well. (If you prefer to use a food processor, you first put in dry ingredients and pulse a couple of times for 5 seconds each time.)
- Cut or rub in 4 tablespoons butter or lard until it's a small seed-like consistency. (You can also cut this in with a Food Processor as well.)
- Put 1/8 teaspoon baking soda in the bottom of a glass measuring cup.
- Add the 1 cup of thin yogurt, buttermilk or cultured milk and stir well - until you can see the bubbles on the top, which means that the soda and the liquid have begun to act with each other.
- Mix the liquid into the dry ingredients stirring to mix well, but not over stirring. (If you use the Food Processor, do not over mix).
- Turn the dough out on floured parchment paper. Roll out lightly and cut with a biscuit cutter. (Yes, you can use a glass or a mason jar -- only it presses the dough down so your biscuits may not rise as high. Also remember to flour your cutter before each cut.)
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. They will brown lightly on top.

Basic French Bread
- 1 3/4 cups sprouted wheat flour
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 pinch yeast
- 2 1/2 cups sprouted wheat flour
- all poolish
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 tsp yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- Mix poolish the night before (it rises for 12-14 hours in 70 degree room). Cover well with plastic wrap.
- Mix dough (using glass, ceramic, or stainless bowl) . Weigh out water separately Weigh flour, measure yeast and mix into flour Add poolish and most of water; rest of water depends on dough stickiness. (lean toward sticky). Blend ingredients enough to get all of flour incorporated.
- Let dough sit for 30 minutes (this is called autoleasing). Cover dough with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Remove dough from bowl onto floured counter or kneading board. Pat down to pop bubbles. Sprinkle salt onto dough.
- Knead dough until strong but flexible (Windowpane test is a good indicator. See baking tips for this month). This will take 12–15 minutes by hand.
- Oil your cleaned bowl and place dough (turn to coat both sides) into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until poofy (about 1 hour for 75 degree dough).
- (Optional step) Place dough on kneading board and punch down . Fold 4 times (don’t knead) and place back in bowl for 2nd rise (about 1–1 ½ hours).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. For best baking results let oven preheat for 1 hour, especially if you've placed a baking stone (pizza stone) in oven.
- (Optional step) Divide dough in half and pre-shape into baguettes. Cover and let them rest until relaxed (about 15–20 minutes).
- Shape dough (final tightening of dough into baguette shape).
- Place baguettes onto parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and rise somewhere warm until full of gas (about 45 mintues).
- Score (cut) the dough and steam it by wetting the surface (I use a spray bottle of water).
- Quickly put dough into oven and turn temperature to 460 degrees.
- Bake 20-25 minutes. DO NOT open oven door for first 15 minutes.
- At 20 minutes test for doneness by inserting a thermometer into center of bread. Should read 190 – 206 degrees.
- Remove bread from oven. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before slicing

- 1 package dry yeast
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- Combine flour, 1 cup buttermilk and butter in a food processor until a ball forms. If dough is too thick, add more buttermilk, but it should be thick enough to form a ball. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 12-24 hours.
- Combine water, yeast and honey in a small bowl and leave for 5 minutes or until it bubbles. Add salt and baking soda and mix well. Place half the flour mixture, half the yeast mixture and ½ cup unbleached white flour in a food processor. Process until a smooth ball forms. Repeat with the other half of dough, yeast mixture and white flour.
- Knead the two balls together briefly and place in a buttered bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise 2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
- Punch down, cut the dough in half and process each half in a food processor for30 seconds each.
- Form into loaves and place in buttered loaf pans (preferably stoneware). Cover with a towel and let rise 1-2 hours, until doubled.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Cool on racks.
This is a good compromise bread that can be sliced and used for sandwiches.
Yeast is used, but the flour is soaked in buttermilk first.

This recipe for sprouted einkorn flour was submitted by Suzanne of www.realfoodlifestyle.com . Suzanne is a fan of To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. and has designed several great recipes using our sprouted flours, including some that are GAPS friendly. Here’s Suzanne’s history behind her biscuit recipe:
Country Biscuits — a 200+ Year Old Tradition Revived w/ Einkorn
In the 1780′s, the Revolutionary War having been won, Patrick Kendrick Sr., his wife and family and members of the Horton family moved 400 miles from Stafford, VA. to the Southwestern part of the Appalachian mountains in the Clinch Valley. The log cabin they built was a part of the home I grew up in during the 1950′s and 60′s. It’s where I developed my love of real food, gardening, raw milk, homemade butter, buttermilk and biscuits - Most of all biscuits. On Sundays, my grandmother, Corrie, would make biscuits and I stood right there watching her every move. Sometimes she would let me sift the flour and dry ingredients, sometimes I got to stir the dough. Always, I got to taste it. I love raw dough, and can tell from one taste whether the end product will turn out. It all started there with little bits of dough from the blue and white enameled metal bowl that was our “biscuit bowl”.
Corrie learned to make biscuits from her mother, and the tradition has been carried forward from mother to daughter or granddaughter. As far as I know, the roots of this recipe probably go back before the 1800′s.
