Spelt Bread Recipe

In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the dry ingredients and stir.

Add water and butter, mixing until everything forms a dough.

Knead for about 10 minutes then remove the dough and shape into a ball.

Lightly oil the bowl and turn 1 side of the dough in a circle to lightly coat with oil.

Flip so oiled side is up and rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Then gently press down on dough.

Remove from the bowl and place on a clean, dry surface.

Fold opposite sides to begin making the shape of a rectangle, pressing the seams down.

Tuck the ends under, again pressing the seams down.

Place the dough, the seams down, into a greased loaf pan and let it rise in a warm place for 45 mins to 1 hour, until nearly doubled.

With a sharp blade make a shallow cut lengthwise in the dough.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Bake for about 35 minutes. The center of the loaf should reach 180 degrees F.

Let it cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling the rest of the way.

Serve and enjoy.
