Recipe: Light & Fluffy Spelt Bread

Ingredients

• 500 g Organic White Spelt Flour

• 10 g sea salt

• 7 g active dry yeast

• 350 ml warm water

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional)

Method

1. Activate the Yeast

   • Mix the warm water and honey.

   • Sprinkle yeast on top and allow it to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

   • Whisk the spelt flour and sea salt together in a large bowl.

3. Combine Ingredients

   • Pour the yeast mixture and oil into the flour.

   • Mix until a rough dough forms.

4. Knead the Dough

   • Turn it onto a floured surface and knead for 8 – 10 minutes.

   • Avoid over-kneading because spelt dough is more delicate.

5. First Rise

   • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.

   • Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.

6. Shape the Dough

   • Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a loaf.

   • Place it in a tin or on a baking sheet.

7. Second Rise

   • Let the dough rise for another 30 – 40 minutes until puffy.

8. Bake

   • Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan).

   • Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce to 200°C (180°C fan) and bake for 20 – 25 more minutes.

   • The loaf is done when golden brown and sounding hollow underneath.

9. Cool Completely

   • Let the bread cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Baking Tips for Best Results

Useful Tips

• Spelt absorbs water quickly, so the dough may feel soft this is normal.

• Avoid adding too much extra flour; it can make the loaf dense.

• For a crisp crust, place a tray of hot water at the bottom of the oven.

• Add-ins like seeds, nuts or dried fruit can upgrade the loaf easily.

• Slice and freeze to keep the bread fresh for longer.

Why This Recipe Works

• Organic White Spelt Flour gives a naturally soft and airy crumb.

• Its fine milling helps the loaf rise beautifully without becoming heavy.

• The flavour is light and pleasant, making this bread versatile for sandwiches, toast or as a dinner table loaf.

• The recipe is simple but optimised specifically for spelt’s unique baking behaviour.
