Spelt Bread: Step by Step

Spelt is an ancient grain, rich in nutrients, with a delicious flavor and pleasant texture. Making spelled bread at home is a simple and rewarding process. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide to making delicious and healthy spelled bread.

Ingredients

500 grams of spelled flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
300 ml of warm water
2 tablespoons of olive oil

Dough Preparation

First, mix the spelled flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Then add the yeast. Mix all dry ingredients well before adding liquid ingredients.

Now, add the warm water and olive oil to the mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form. Then use your hands to knead the dough in the bowl until it is smooth and elastic. This should take about 10 minutes.

First Fermentation

Once the dough is smooth and elastic, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 2 hours. During this time, the dough should double in size. This is known as the first fermentation.

Formatting Bread

Once the dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently to remove any air bubbles, then form it into a loaf. You can do this by folding the edges of the dough towards the center and then turning the dough over so the seam is on the bottom.

Second Fermentation

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover again with the dish towel and let it rest for about 1 hour. During this time, the dough should double in size again. This is known as the second fermentation.

Baking the Bread

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Once the oven is preheated and the dough has doubled in size, it's time to bake the bread. Make a few shallow cuts in the top of the dough with a sharp blade. This allows steam to escape during baking and helps the dough to expand.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
