Everyday Spelt Bread

This spelt bread recipe combines simplicity with incredible flavor. Whether you’re a novice in the kitchen or an experienced baker, you’ll find this bread recipe easy to follow and rewarding to create.

Ingredients

3 ½ cups spelt flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons honey (or sugar)
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the honey in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
Mix the ingredients until they come together to form a dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan.
COVER the loaf with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the loaf has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
