Whole Grain Bread

Ingredients

• 400 g spelt whole wheat flour
• 1 packet dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 50 g flax seeds
• 50 g sesame seeds
• 50 g rolled oats
• 1 tsp beetroot syrup
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp plant oil

Instructions

1. 1.

   Mix the flour with the yeast and sugar, then knead with about 175 ml lukewarm water. Add more water or flour if needed. Place in a bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rest for about 1 hour in a warm place.

2. 2.

   Combine flax seeds, sesame seeds, and rolled oats. Knead about two-thirds of this mixture together with the beetroot syrup, salt, and cumin into the dough. Knead vigorously for another 5-10 minutes to make the dough light and supple. Shape into a loaf and roll it in the remaining seeds.

3. 3.

   Spray a baking tray with oil and place the loaf on it. Cover and let rest for about 30 more minutes.

4. 4.

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F) with upper and lower heat. Place a bowl of hot water in the oven and bake the bread for about 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200 °C (400 °F) and bake for another 50 minutes.
