Description

This savory skillet bread made with ground cornmeal and einkorn flour is perfect for serving alongside your favorite meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups ground cornmeal
  • 1 cup einkorn flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in the preheating oven to warm up while you mix your batter.
  2. In a large bowl, add cornmeal, einkorn flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to remove clumps. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
  3. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes in the bowl.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and coat the bottom and sides with butter (or a neutral cooking oil).
  5. Pour batter into the hot skillet and place back in the oven. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center pops back when gently pressed, or when the internal temperature reaches 195 to 200F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
  6. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Optionally, brush the top with additional butter just before serving.
