Spelt

Baking bread is about more than getting food on the table. Kneading the dough into soft, elastic strands can be a relaxing, meditative experience, while the aroma of toasted grains and yeast is downright transportive. Everyone should be so fortunate to have the experience of making it at home. It’s such a humble, simple staple, but for many, white flour is off the table or simply out of reach. For a highly nutritious, gut-friendly loaf, seeded herbed spelt bread may just be your new best friend.

Homemade Rosemary And Sea Salt Spelt Bread

Made with 100% whole grain spelt flour and slowly fermented to alkalize the dough, it has character and substance like boring white bread can only dream of. Each slice sparkles with earthy, aromatic herbs, punctuated by toothsome seeds, making every bite a little bit different. Soft yet sturdy, it could be the foundation for your next fully stacked sandwich, or simply enjoyed solo. It’s hard to beat freshly baked bread, still warm from the oven.

Never baked bread before? Somewhat uneasy about working with yeast? Don’t worry! This is a very forgiving, low-impact dough that makes a good introduction into the art of making bread from scratch.

Add spelt into your diet for an easy way to boost your fiber intake. It’s also a great source of iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, and folic acid.

Whole Wheat Spelt Bread [vegan]

At its most basic, bread only needs flour, water, and yeast to rise. All the other flavorings and seasonings are likely pantry staples, and also quite flexible if you need to make substitutions.

Such a bold, savory flavor profile predisposes this bread to playing nicely with other spicy, salty, sour, and bitter taste, but it can also provide a crave-worthy contrast to sweet toppings as well. Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

For over 5, 000 years, spelt berries have been enjoyed cooked whole, much like barley. Archeological evidence traces spelt back to Transcaucasia, the region bordering Eastern Europe and Western Asia, though it is best documented throughout history in Central Europe. It became the principal wheat species and Germany and Switzerland by the end of the Iron Era, in 15 BCE.

Simple Spelt Bread Recipe

Because spelt is a form of wheat, it does contain gluten and is not suitable for those with celiac disease. It is, however, more easily digested and thought to be better tolerated by those with mild sensitivities. When in doubt, ask your doctor before digging in.

Never run out of vegan bread when you bake in advance. Even if you don’t go through very much at a time, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy a fresh slice on demand whenever cravings strike.

After the spelt bread has completely cooled, cut it into slices. Wrap the whole loaf tightly in plastic wrap, and then again in aluminum foil. Label with masking tape and a sharpie (don’t forget to add the date) and freeze for up to six months. When you want to re-heat, just pop a slice or two straight into the toaster.

To make this into a round loaf, place a 5-quart (5-L) Dutch oven in your oven when you preheat it. Line the Dutch oven with parchment paper and place the dough inside. Top the dough with the seed mixture, make a few slices on the top, cover and bake the bread for 30 minutes. Uncover the Dutch oven and bake the bread for 15 more minutes. Remove the bread to a rack to cool.

Spelt

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.

Easy Homemade Wholemeal Spelt 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.

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.

No

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.

Yeast Free Sprouted Spelt Bread (easy, 15 Minutes)

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.
