Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 1 kg spelt flour type 1050
- 2 packets of dry yeast or 1 cube of fresh yeast
- 20 g salt
- 500 ml water, lukewarm
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 3 hours 20 minutes
Put flour and salt in a bowl. Add the dried yeast and lukewarm water. If using a yeast cube, dissolve it in the lukewarm water first. Knead the dough thoroughly for about 10 minutes. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water if necessary. Cover the dough and let it rise for about 2 hours. Form the dough into two equal-sized loaves and place them in baking pans (if available). I always do it without a baking pan, and the bread still turns out a beautiful loaf. Bake in a preheated oven at about 230°C (top/bottom heat) on the lowest rack for about 60 minutes. Place a cup of water on the bottom of the oven. For a better appearance, you can dust the bread with a little flour before baking and, if necessary, create a pattern in the crust with a knife. If you don’t want so much bread, you can halve the quantities to get one loaf.
