Quick Spelt Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups spelt flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: seeds (like sunflower or sesame) for topping

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water with honey (or sugar) and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a larger mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
  3. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough to release the air, then shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
  7. If you like, sprinkle some seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
  8. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
