Honey Spelt Bread

1 TBS active dry yeast
2 1/4 hot tap water
3 TBS coconut oil (or canola oil)
3 TBS Honey
1 egg
5 TBS quick-cooking or old fashioned rolled oats
3 cups Spelt flour
2 tsp salt
2 1/2 to 3cups all-purpose flour (or whole white wheat)

Combine water, honey, yeast, in bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. If using Coconut oil add the oil to the water and yeast mixture. 

Add 2 cups flour mix and let sit until doubles.

Add egg, oats, salt, and the rest of the flour.**

** When adding flour be careful you can ADD to much flour. Make sure you leave the bread tacky. There is a difference between tacky and sticky. You don't want it sticky. You need to be able handle the bread without it sticking to you. If you don't leave it tacky it will be dry and dense.

Let sit until doubles. Cut unto 2 loaves add to the 9 x 5 bread pans. or 8 mini loaves pans, (they are our favorite)

Let raise and double again. This step let them raise in the oven. When they are doubled just turn the oven on. 
Bake  at 350 for 35 minutes. Add more time if you like it darker.  The length of time depends on how dark or light you like your bread. 

** If you are worried about whether or not it is done. Take the bread out of the pan keeping it in your hand and flip it over and knock on the bottom of the loaf. 

 * Trick to making your bread come out of the pan. Don't wash your bread pans. Just wipe them out.

Mrs. Mark's Spelt Bread

2 TBSP yeast
½ cup warm water
5 cup hot tap water
2 TBSP salt
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
12 cups spelt flour

 

1.  Sprinkle yeast in water and let stand for 15 min.  Adding 1 TBSP sugar helps the yeast to rise.
 

2.  Grind 9 cups spelt into flour using a fine setting.  Combine in boche mixer 8 cups of spelt and the hot tap water.  Mix on low until well mixed.

3.  Add salt, oil, and honey and mix well.  Add 1 cup flour, the prepared yeast mix and blend thoroughly.
 

4.  Add additional cups of spelt flour one at a time to the mixer while mixing on low speed.  Add until dough pulls off the sides of the bowl and climbs up the center post of the mixer.  Mix for an additional 4 minutes only.

5.  Generously grease the sides and tops of 4  8-1/2” bread pans.  Oil the counter top.  Spread dough on counter and do not fold, (this causes bubbles and messes up the texture of the dough).  Divide into 4 even balls by pinching off a section.  Dough will be soft and sticky, but you should be able to handle it a little.  Put in pan, and pat down.  Pat top with water to smooth out and prevent drying.  Let rise for 25 minutes or until the dough has increased by 1/3 (which is about to the top of the pan.) 

6. Turn on oven to 350 degrees.  Let dough continue rising until oven is hot.  Bake for 45 min., makes 4

This recipe is very sticky.  It is suppose to be that way.  However we do add slightly more flour than the recipe calls for, to make it just a little easier to handle.

It is sticky enough you will not think it can possible make a good bread but does.

This is Blaine’s favorite.
