Ingredients

Yeast Mix

  • 2 tbsp Yeast
  • 3/4 cup Warm Water
  • 1/4 cup Honey

Dough

  • 2 2/3 cup Warm Water
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 9 cup Spelt Flour
  • 9 tbsp Olive Oil

Optional

  • 1 tbsp Cold Water (for egg wash)
  • some seeds/oats/anything to top the loaf

Instructions

Yeast Mix

  • Mix 3/4 cup warm water, 1/4 cup honey and 2 tbsp of yeast in a bowl and let sit for a few minutes.

Dough

  • Add the yeast mix and half the flour into a large bowl (or stand mixer). Stir well.
  • When the yeast mix and half the flour are well mixed, add the rest of the flour. I combined everything with the stand mixer for a few minutes then took the dough out and kneaded by hand for about 5 more minutes.

Proofing

  • Preheat oven to 200F. Once it is up to temperature turn it off. Place the dough in an oiled ovensafe dough and let proof in the warm oven for about an hour. (Should double or more)
  • Punch the dough down and split in three equal parts.
  • Fold each piece into a loaf shape and place in a greased loaf pan.
  • Let the dough proof again, covered and not in the oven this time, for another hour or so. Dough should fill or overfill the loaf pans when done proofing.

Baking

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Optional - Egg wash and sprinkle outs or some other grain on top of loafs if desired.
  • Bake for ~22 minutes.
