Add the warm water, honey, and olive oil to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients.
Add the spelt flour, making sure it covers the liquid completely.
Using your finger or a spoon, create a small well in the center of the spelt flour, but avoid digging deep enough to reach the liquid.
Add the instant yeast into the center of the well.
Place the pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle (or equivalent setting for spelt bread) on your bread machine.
Set the crust preference (light, medium, or dark) as desired.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake automatically. The total time will typically take around 3 hours depending on your machine.
When the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Gently lift the bread out of the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
