Sweet and savoury treats to make with Emmer Flour
A 1kg bag of Emmer wheat flour can go a long way.....through testing our Emmer wheat flour in baking, we can make five (5) recipes and still have over 1⁄4 of a bag left
As Emmer wheat flour contains less starch than regular wheat, cakes can bake a bit denser so we like to add an extra egg or egg white to the batter
We have used approximately 1 – 1 1⁄4 or 1 1⁄2 cups of Emmer wheat flour instead of 2-3 cups when following regular recipes – have found that the Emmer wheat flour absorbs liquid quite well so you don’t need quite as much
For lighter textures in cakes and muffin recipes, beat less and at lower speed or by hand
As Emmer wheat flour has such a distinct flavour, taste and aroma, we have found it is good to pair with other strong flavours. For example, adding lots of herbs, chilli, olives and fetta in savoury muffins and adding cinnamon, ginger and chocolate in sweeter recipes.
If you have a Thermomix, we have found that re-milling the flour then sifting makes a nicer/fluffier bread and less dense.
