Outside crispy, inside beautifully juicy: Quick Spelt Bread from Spoonsparrow leaves nothing to be desired! You can easily bake this whole grain bread yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1 cube yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 500 g spelt wholemeal flour
  • 150 g nuts, seeds or grains to taste (e.g. walnuts, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 tsp butter (5 g)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Dissolve the yeast in 500 ml lukewarm water. Add salt and vinegar and stir until all ingredients have dissolved.

  2. 2.

    Place flour in a bowl and mix 130 g of nuts. Pour in the yeast water and mix everything into a smooth dough with the kneading hooks of the stand mixer or hand mixer. The dough is sticky and relatively moist.

  3. 3.

    Grease a loaf tin (30 cm long) with butter and fill with dough. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4.

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan).

  5. 5.

    When the surface of the dough begins to slightly bulge upwards, sprinkle the bread with the remaining nuts and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. You can check if the bread is done with the tapping test: simply tap the bread with your knuckles: if it sounds hollow, the bread is done.

  6. 6.

    After the baking time, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then remove it from the tin and let it cool completely.
