SPELT BREAD



Spelt Bread image

This is my Grandad's recipe for bread, normally it calls for half white flour and half whole wheat flour, but as my son has a wheat allergy, I substituted both flours for Spelt flour. Spelt flour is an ancient grain and can be used in place of white flour. It can be found in most Health food stores. Enjoy! Editor's Note: Spelt is an ancient wheat that has recently been marketed as safe for wheat-allergic individuals. Wheat-allergic patients can react to spelt as they do to common wheat. Please consult with your health care provider to ensure spelt is appropriate for you.

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

THREE MINUTE SPELT BREAD



Three Minute Spelt Bread image

Amazingly quick, simple and delicious seedy spelt bread - I'm hoping that some friends of mine who can't tolerate wheat will be able to eat this, it does contain gluten so isn't any good for those have problems with gluten. Recipe originally comes from the Telegraph Magazine, I found it on the True Food Coop website. Seems a bit wrong that this bread is not kneaded and doesn't get left to rise yet still works so well. As I write I have a loaf cooling on the counter top calling to me! I've since read that allowing the dough to rise overnight in a cool place makes it even better - I'll be trying that when I'm not in a rush.

Time 3h40m

Yield Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds, toasted
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon flaxseeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil. Line with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on long sides. Oil parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, 1/2 cup each sunflower and black sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons each caraway and flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, stir together milk, buttermilk, honey, and oil until honey is dissolved. Add flour mixture; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Transfer to prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining seeds, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway though, until a tester inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour, 5 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread and let cool completely. (Bread can be tightly wrapped and stored at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month.)

Tips:

  • Use freshly milled spelt flour for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have a grain mill, you can buy spelt flour from most health food stores.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the baking powder and baking soda, as too much or too little can affect the rise of your bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Spelt quick bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is easy to make. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it has a slightly nutty flavor. This bread can be enjoyed plain, toasted, or with your favorite toppings. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give spelt quick bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
