Description

Safe for anyone with a wheat allergy, this homemade bread is made with whole grain and white spelt flour.

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups whole grain spelt flour
3 cups white spelt flour, or more as needed
2 cups very warm water
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions

1 Mix both 3 1/2 cups whole grain spelt flour, 3 cups white spelt flour, water, oil, sugar, yeas, and salt together in a bowl with a spoon until mostly combined. Switch to kneading by hand, adding more white spelt flour if necessary, but not too much. Keep kneading until dough is the texture of your earlobe.
2 Place dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in the shape of a loaf and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (185 degrees C).
4 Bake in the preheated oven until top is a deep golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 20 minutes.
