Spelt Bread Recipe Honey

Honey oat bread made with spelt flour and rolled oats. This simple loaf can be made year round, and easily made vegan with maple syrup.

Honey and oat bread is a classic for good reason, and spelt flour adds even more flavour to this version. It’s one of the first breads I started baking when I was nine or ten, and has remained a solid favourite for homemade loaves over the decades.

Honey

While people are sometimes a bit nervous about baking with spelt flour, it can be used very similarly to standard wheat. The biggest caveat is that you can’t knead or mix as much as with a higher gluten flour.

Spelt And Honey

This makes a wonderful sandwich or toasting loaf and it’s a nice way to get some more whole grains in. There’s plenty of texture here and the honey adds a nice flavour element, which will change depending on the type of honey used.

Kneading time than normal wheat loaves, this particular recipe doesn’t need soaking time for the oats, either. Excellent flavour, not much work, win win.

While some oat breads soak the oats beforehand, this recipe has been developed with dry oats in mind. It has a slightly higher hydration considering that oats will absorb more of that water than flour alone would.

The dough does rest for a few minutes before kneading, which allows the oats to absorb some of the water. If you skip this step, you’ll need to add too much flour when kneading and will have a tough bread.

If you want a sourdough version, please try this honey and oat sourdough bread. I haven’t tried making this one with an overnight method, but that sourdough recipe also proves overnight and offers a yeast option.

Storage: keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. This is a yeast bread and doesn’t last quite as long as sourdough.

My Mind Patch: Honey Spelt Bread

Freezing: freeze the whole loaf, well wrapped, or do individual slices. Freeze for at least a month. It tends to dry out a bit after freezing for any longer but makes excellent toast.
