Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams spelt flour
- 325 milliliters warm water
- 7 grams dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and sea salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, then shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a lightly greased or parchment-lined bread pan.
Cover the loaf again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size once more.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
