Easy Homemade Wholemeal Spelt Bread
 
 
Hazel & Cacao:
Cuisine: Savoury
Ingredients
  • 4 cups wholemeal spelt flour
  • 1 TBSP active dry yeast
  • 3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil ( or oil of choice)
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 TBSP coconut sugar
  • 1¼ cup water approximately
  • Optional toppings of choice
Method
  1. In a large bowl add in all the ingredients except for the water and mix together.
  2. Slowly add in your water a little bit at a time until a dough consistency forms. You may not need all the water. If it gets too sloppy just add some more flour until the dough becomes easy to knead. If it is too try just add a little more water. The amount of water differs depending on how course your spelt four is.
  3. Knead for about 5 minutes
  4. Leave to rest covered with a tea towel for 20 minutes. The dough should rise to about double the size during this time.
  5. Transfer your dough into a lightly greased loaf tin or shape into round shape and place in a heavy oven safe round dish like a dutch oven.
  6. Bake for 1 hour at 200 C
  7. If you would like to add toppings like I did, lightly brush the top of your bread with a little bit of soy milk or other plant based milk and then sprinkle on seeds and toppings of choice. I also added a cross shape with a large knife. You may want to bake the first 30 minutes covered with a lid and then remove the lid for the last 30 minutes so that the seeds don't burn.
