Time 3h15m

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups spelt flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup natural cane sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk together spelt flour, oats, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture to combine. Gather dough in plastic wrap; form into a rectangular disk and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a scant 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1 inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm to the touch and golden around edges, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Melt chocolate. Dip each cookie diagonally in chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Refrigerate on parchment-lined sheets until just set.

Time 3h20m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups warm water, divided
12 ¾ cups All-Purpose Spelt White Flour PUR
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 cups quick oats
⅔ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup warm water, 1/4 cup spelt flour, yeast, and white sugar in a very large mixing bowl. Let the yeast proof and grow for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining water, oats, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and molasses. Add salt, then add remaining spelt flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a generously oiled bowl, turning dough several times to oil all sides so it won't stick or dry out. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and shape into loaves. Transfer loaves to greased loaf pans and let rise until dough is about 1/2 inch higher than the top of the pans, about 1 hour longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake loaves in the preheated oven until tops are brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then remove from the pans and finish cooling on wire racks.

  • Follow the recipe carefully: This recipe is easy to follow, but it's important to measure the ingredients accurately and follow the instructions carefully. Don't overmix the dough, or the shortbread will be tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the shortbread to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a nice crispy texture.
  • Let the shortbread cool before serving: This will help it to firm up and make it easier to cut into slices.

It's a great way to use up leftover oats and spelt flour, and it's a healthier alternative to traditional shortbread.
