Ingredients
 

  • 400 ml Lukewarm water
  • 0,5 packet Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 50 g Ground flaxseed
  • 50 g Ground flea seeds
  • 150 g Spelt flour 630
  • 200 g Spelt flour 1050
  • 2 tbsp Flaxseed whole
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil or similar

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm water and set aside.
  • I grind linseed and flea seeds in a coffee grinder, mix them with the two flours and the salt.
  • Add this mixture as well as the whole seeds / kernels to the yeast solution and knead with the dough hook or the food processor to a soft dough that still sticks a little.
  • Cover the dough and let rise for at least 4 hours.
  • Now push the dough together with a spatula and pour into a greased loaf pan. Cover again and let rise until the volume has increased significantly.
  • Place a fire-proof bowl with water in the oven and slide the loaf pan onto the grid in the second rail from below.
  • Set the oven to 200 ° top / bottom heat and bake the bread for about 50-55 minutes.
  • When the bread is ready, take it out of the oven, turn it out immediately and cover it with a kitchen towel and let it cool down on a wire rack.
  • The bread tastes good with both sweet and savory toppings.

Tip:

  • If you don't have flea seeds, take twice the amount of flaxseed, but reduce the water by about 20 ml.
