My Favorite Homemade Bread Recipe - Spelt Bread

Ingredients

• 2 lb whole spelt flour
• 2 ts of yeast
• 1 tbs of brown sugar or agave syrup
• warm water
• 2 - 3 eggs (optional)
• 4 tbs of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
• 1 ts of Himalayan salt
• dissolved in a few tbs of water

Instructions

Put the yeast and brown sugar or agave syrup into the mug, add 1 cup of warm water. Let it rise to twice the quantity.

Put the spelt flour into a stand mixer's stainless bowl. Add yeast and start mixing. Slowly add eggs, olive oil and salt, dissolved in some warm water. Keep mixing and add more water if necessary. The bread dough should be smooth and not sticky. Let it rise for about an hour - to twice of its size.

I prefer to bake my bread in a pan (or on a glass plate from the microwave oven), greased with olive oil and spelt flour mixture. That way my loaf of bread doesn't stick.

Shape your loaf and bake it for 1 hour on 350 degrees F.

Let it cool down a little before cutting. Warm spelt bread tastes great with some butter. Enjoy!!
