100% Whole Spelt Bread with Sesame Seeds

I love spelt flour and try to use it whenever it’s possible as a substitute for wheat. This bread is so easy than any beginner could bake it without much fuss.

Ingredients:

570g whole spelt flour, plus extra for dusting or adding to dough if necessary
2 tsp dry yeast
2 tsp salt
400 ml warm water
1 tsp coconut sugar (or any other sugar you want)
Sesame seeds to sprinkle/garnish

Directions:

1. In a big bowl, mix well flour, yeast and salt.

2. Add water and sugar. Mix.

3. Work on the dough over a flat flour-dusted surface for 5 minutes or until it doesn’t feel too sticky anymore. If needed, add a little bit more flour.

4. Pour dough into a greased loaf pan or a silicon one. Dust the top with some flour and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit/rise for 45 minutes inside the oven (turned off!).

5. Remove bread from the oven. Turn oven to 200°C.

6. Remove wrap and brush top with water and sprinkle sesame seeds over it.

7. When oven is heated, slide the bread in and bake for 35-45 minutes or until bread has a nice crust and a hollow sound when thumped on the bottom.

8. Let it cool over a rack before removing from pan.

Inspired by recipe Vollkorbrot mit Sesam from a book called “Das große Buch vom Brot”, The Big Baking Collection 3.
