Everyday Spelt Bread ### Ingredients:

3 cups spelt flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar or honey
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar (or honey), and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the spelt flour and salt to the yeast mixture. If you’re using olive oil, add it at this stage. Mix everything together until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, feel free to add a little more flour as needed.
Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

There you have it! A simple and delicious Everyday Spelt Bread recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or toasted with your favorite toppings!
