Yeast Free Spelt Bread
My 1-year-old, Oliver absolutely LOVES this bread. It’s healthy, easy for him to chew, and is free of bits or seeds – ingredients kids typically don’t like in sandwich bread.
Oliver enjoys it with hummus or cashew cheese, but I also love it slathered with vegan butter, dunked in soup or as sandwich bread. Try this easy spelt bread with Grilled Cheese, Vegan Egg Salad, or with some of my favourite cozy soups – Vegan Tomato Basil Soup, Vegan Potato Leek Soup, or Cream of Mushroom.
Spelt alone is a nutritious ancient grain that is full of vitamins and minerals like magnesium, potassium, zinc, and folate. It’s also high in protein and a great source of fiber. That makes this bread the perfect loaf to enjoy on a healthy plant-based diet.
Rye And Ground Linseed Bread
In this recipe I’ve used spelt flour from One Degree Organics, one of my favourite brands, which boosts the nutrition even further because they make their organic flours using sprouted spelt.
What the heck does that mean?? Well, when a whole grain has been sprouted, the nutritional content becomes more accessible and easy to digest. This is because the antinutrients in the spelt are broken down, increasing the bioavailability of the vitamins and minerals. Umm, cool right?
If you have trouble digesting whole grains or wheat breads without bloating or discomfort, this sprouted spelt bread recipe may be exactly what you need!

If you’ve been intimidated by baking your own loaf bread at home, don’t be! In just a few easy-to-follow steps, you’ll have your own light and fluffy golden spelt bread at home.
Yes, spelt is a subspecies of wheat and therefore contains gluten. Spelt is actually said to have the highest gluten content compared to its relatives wheat, rye and barley. However, the gluten molecules in spelt are different from wheat and many find it easier to digest.
If you are Celiac or gluten-intolerant, spelt unfortunately won’t work for you (sorry), but please enjoy any of the recipes in my ever growing gluten-free collection.
Spelt Flour Bread Recipe
Absolutely! If you’ve baked more bread than you and your family can enjoy before it spoils, stick the excess in the freezer to prolong its shelf life. I’d recommend freezing the spelt bread in slices in an airtight container such as a silicone reusable bag. This way you can pull out 1 or 2 at a time and defrost just what you need for easy lunches or a quick and healthy snack. It’s delicious toasted and can be toasted right from frozen!
In addition to being healthier and preservative free, baking your own bread at home is significantly cheaper! One you get in the routine of baking a fresh loaf every week, you won’t want to go back to store-bought bread.
If your loaf came out dry, you likely baked the loaf for too long. Baking for 40 minutes works well for my oven, but you may need to adjust the bake time to suit your oven. This is where investing in a simple oven thermometer can be useful. You’ll be able to tell if your oven runs hot or cold and adjust your bake times accordingly.
Pumpkin Bread With Spelt Flour And Maple Syrup
Or, it’s possible that you used too much flour. The best way to measure flour is always by weight, and the next best method is the spoon and level method. If you’re scooping a measuring cup directly into the flour then it’s likely to get packed and you’ll be using too much. This results in dry bread.
Baking time can vary depending on your oven. I found 40 minutes to be the perfect bake time, you might need a little more or a little less.

Welcome to TWO SPOONS! My name is Hannah and I started this blog to bring you plant-based recipes worth sharing. My recipes are intended for everyone to enjoy; whether you’re vegan, or simply trying to incorporate more plants into your diet.An easy spelt bread recipe, made with 100% whole grain spelt flour, for the perfect sandwich bread.

I have a serious crush on homemade bread. Who doesn’t? I’m always happy in the kitchen, but baking bread always puts a smile on my face. The smell, the way the dough feels, and watching what sometimes feels a science experiment turn into something so tasty.
Basic Spelt Oatmeal Bread
Nothing beats a loaf of bread fresh from the oven. This is a nice, simple sandwich loaf made with 100% whole spelt flour. If you’re looking for a good basic toast/sandwich bread, this is it. It’s my staple bread recipe.
The recipe calls for sprouted flour, which has a couple of awesome qualities – it’s easier to digest than regular flour (both spelt and conventional wheat) and it makes for a lovely light bread. Keep in mind, though, that it won’t last quite as long as other breads, so eat it pretty quickly.
It’s easier than you think, really. You can watch the video for some ideas on how kneading should happen, etc. but it’s pretty basic. For this recipe, you just need yeast, flour, a bit of sweetener, water, milk, and olive oil. If you read through this, watch the video, and still think this might be a bit much, try this no-knead spelt bread first.
Yeast Free Sprouted Spelt Bread (easy, 15 Minutes)
The 10 minute sit with the water, yeast, and honey is important – first, it’ll tell you that your yeast is still active, so you don’t waste a bunch of time and ingredients with dead yeast. Second, it’s supposed to help your dough rise faster but that only really matters if you’re using traditional yeast.
There’s a range in the amount of flour you need for this recipe because it depends on a few factors. The big one is that when measuring by volume (cups) the density will vary between flour types and your measuring method.
Need to look at the range, but flour absorbability does vary between types so you will likely need a bit more or less. I use about 3 1/4 cups or just under 500 grams when I make it with the type of flour I use but have used much less with Canadian flour types.
White Spelt Flour
The recipe calls for sprouted spelt flour, but you can see in the video that I use a lighter flour – it’s sifted or light spelt because I didn’t have sprouted. You can also use regular whole grain spelt, or a mix of any of the three.
This is a specifically spelt bread recipe, but if you don’t have enough on hand for the full recipe or want to sub something else, kamut, einkorn, or any other ancient grain can be used (and whole wheat/all purpose, of course). I haven’t tried making this recipe gluten free because it is spelt bread.
You can use dairy milk for non-dairy if you drink it, which can be said for just about any recipe. Any kind of liquid oil can be used instead of olive – just avoid very strong tasting oils like sesame. There is no substitution for yeast unless you’d like to try a spelt sourdough.
Super Seeded Wholemeal Spelt Bread
If you’d like to add some things in to this recipe, look to this honey and oat bread, also made with spelt flour. And if you love baking with spelt, almost all of my bread recipes are made with a base of spelt flour.
You can find spelt flour just about anywhere these days
