SIMPLE SPELT BREAD RECIPE



Simple Spelt Bread Recipe image

An easy spelt bread recipe, made with 100% whole grain spelt flour, for the perfect sandwich bread. You're just over two hours away from homemade bread, and about 10 minutes of active kitchen time.

Provided by Alexandra Daum

Categories     Bread

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

60 ml warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
250 ml non-dairy milk
3 tablespoons olive oil
~500 grams whole sprouted spelt flour
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Add the water and honey to a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast overtop and let it sit for ten minutes. After ten minutes, it should be foamy. If the mixture doesn't foam, discard - you need new yeast.
  • Add the milk, olive oil, 2 cups (300g) of the flour, and the salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until a loose dough forms.
  • Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, kneading between each addition, until a smooth, springy dough forms. This should take 6-8 minutes. It should be quite smooth and not really sticky. If you're using a stand mixer, use the dough attachment for this.
  • Place the dough into a large greased bowl and cover with a tea towel or large plate. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for one hour, or until doubled in size. This is called proofing.
  • When the dough has risen, punch it down gently and place it into a parchment-lined or well greased standard-size** loaf pan, tucking any untidy ends underneath. Cover with a tea towel and place the loaf into a warm place to rise again for half an hour longer. While it's rising, heat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Bake the bread for about 45 minutes, or until golden, and it sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the pan and cool for ten minutes on a rack before cutting.
  • Store the bread in a sealed container for up to three days, or freeze for up to a month.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds, toasted

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil. Line with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on long sides. Oil parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, 1/2 cup each sunflower and black sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons each caraway and flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, stir together milk, buttermilk, honey, and oil until honey is dissolved. Add flour mixture; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Transfer to prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining seeds, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway though, until a tester inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour, 5 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread and let cool completely. (Bread can be tightly wrapped and stored at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month.)

SPELT QUICK BREAD



Spelt Quick Bread image

I try to bake wheat-free as much as possible and finding recipes for bread that I actually like has not been easy! I found this recipe at Anja's Food 4 Thought. It uses spelt, which is an ancient, non-hybrid ancestor to our modern wheat. Many people with wheat sensitivities(not celiac)can eat spelt, and I've been experimenting...

THREE MINUTE SPELT BREAD



Three Minute Spelt Bread image

Amazingly quick, simple and delicious seedy spelt bread - I'm hoping that some friends of mine who can't tolerate wheat will be able to eat this, it does contain gluten so isn't any good for those have problems with gluten. Recipe originally comes from the Telegraph Magazine, I found it on the True Food Coop website. Seems a bit wrong that this bread is not kneaded and doesn't get left to rise yet still works so well. As I write I have a loaf cooling on the counter top calling to me! I've since read that allowing the dough to rise overnight in a cool place makes it even better - I'll be trying that when I'm not in a rush.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
