Rebecca's Fresh Herb Spelt Bread image

After looking everywhere for a tried-and-true herb spelt bread and finding none, I made this one up myself. It's light, perfectly herby, and a great way to use up all that fresh rosemary and basil we have during the summer.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups white spelt flour
⅔ cup whole grain spelt flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir to combine, then let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Add oil and salt to yeast mixture, then stir in both flours, rosemary, basil, Italian herb blend, and pepper until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Do not knead, as dough will be too sticky.
  • Cover, and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 4x6-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Use a spatula to scoop dough into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This spelt bread is a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities. It's also a good source of fiber and protein. I like to toast it and spread it with avocado and tomato.

I've made this bread several times now and it's always a hit! My family loves the flavor and texture. It's a great way to use up fresh herbs from the garden.

Just made a loaf of this bread and it turned out great! The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy. The flavor is amazing, with a hint of sweetness from the honey and a nice savory note from the herbs. Definitely a keeper!

This spelt bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional wheat bread. The fresh herbs give it a wonderful flavor, and the spelt flour makes it more nutritious. I will definitely be making this bread again!
