Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 cups spelt flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or stand mixer
  • Bread pan
  • Plastic wrap or towel
  • Oven

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour and salt. Mix well.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine honey, active dry yeast, and warm water. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated and starts to foam.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the large mixing bowl with the flour mixture. Mix well with a wooden spoon or stand mixer until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the dough has risen, remove the plastic wrap or towel and bake the bread for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once the bread has cooled, slice and serve.
