Mom's Spelt Bread

Mom's Spelt Bread bakes up with a hearty crumb and nutty flavor from a mix of whole grain and white spelt flours. Lightly sweetened and enriched with oil, it rises into a tender, golden loaf that’s great warm with butter or for sandwiches. Ideal for weekend baking or sharing at the table.

Mom's Spelt Bread
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups whole grain spelt flour, 3 cups white spelt flour, water, oil, sugar, yeast, and salt with a spoon until mostly combined. Switch to kneading by hand, adding more white spelt flour if needed, but not too much. Continue kneading until the dough feels like your earlobe.

  2. 2

    Shape the dough into a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (185 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the top is deep golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 20 minutes.
