📕 What is Spelt?

Spelt, also known as dinkel, is a grain related to the common wheat grain, but it has a nutty flavor.

It is known as an ancient grain in Europe and the Middle East, as it has already been part of people's diet back in the bronze ages.

Today, spelt grains are turned into spelt wheat, which in turn makes lovely bread.

Spelt bread is a staple in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland where one can buy different spelt bread rolls, loaves and more.

👩🏻‍⚕️ Spelt for your health

Nowadays, spelt is considered to be health food.

Spelt contains gluten, so it's not a suitable grain if you follow a gluten-free diet.

Yet, spelt is an ancient grain so you can enjoy this bread if you are on a paleo diet.

Here are some spelt flour benefits.

Spelt wheat is a good source of fibers and those are great for your gut health.

Fibers help you to regulate your bowl movement and at the same time keep you full longer so that you don't have to experience sudden cravings.

This, in turn, can assist you on your journey to weight loss and it can regulate your cholesterol levels.

Step 1

Add to a large mixing bowl all the dry ingredients the spelt flour, salt, mixed seeds, and yeast.

Make a well in the center and add in the wet ingredients, the honey, vinegar, and water.

Mix and beat the dough with the help of your kitchen machine or by hand.

Step 2

Grease a pan and sprinkle in oats.

Pour in batter and even out.

Step 3

Bake bread at 390 Fahrenheit or 200 Celsius for about 60 minutes altogether.

However, take out bread from the oven after 20 minutes and make a cut lengthwise across the top of your bread.

Take it back to the oven to finish the baking process.

We make a cut on top so that the bread bakes evenly and doesn't get off shape.

You can add any of the following seeds to your bread to add nutritious value to each slice.

The seeds also add a lot of flavor and texture to your spelt flour bread.

• sunflower seeds
• sesame seeds - white or black
• pumpkin seeds or other squash seeds
• flax seeds
• chia seeds or basil seeds

I also like to add oats and sometimes raisins to my bread.

The combination and choice of seeds is up to you.

I mainly use sunflower and pumpkin seeds and the red I fill up with the other seed varieties.

The bread in the recipe picture includes all the above-mentioned seeds.
