Homemade spelt bread

Ingredients (for 2 loaves):

• 800 g spelt flour (I recommend organic - Water Mills)

• 2 teaspoons of salt (I recommend fine sea salt)

• 1 sachet of dry or 25 g of fresh yeast

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• 1 teaspoon of honey

• 600 ml of warm water

• 60 g of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or other favorite seeds

• 1 egg (to spread on the bread before baking)

• optionally a handful of your favorite seeds to sprinkle on top

Preparation:

• Combine flour, salt, yeast, grains, oil and honey, then add warm water.

• Knead for 15 minutes (you can help yourself with a machine using a hook as a tip).

• Transfer the dough to 2 rectangular molds greased with butter & dusted with bread crumbs.

• Leave the bread in the molds to rise (45-60 minutes).

• Brush the risen bread with beaten egg and sprinkle with your favorite grains.

Baking:

Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

Enjoy!
