Spelt mixed bread

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 650 g spelt flour type 1050
• 150 g rye flour type 1150
• 200 g wheat flour type 1050
• 1 cube of fresh yeast
• 600 ml water, lukewarm
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 55 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 2 hours 15 minutes

Dissolve the yeast cube with sugar in lukewarm water and let it stand for at least 10 minutes. The sugar helps the yeast to work. Important: do not use hot water, as this will destroy the yeast’s ability to function. Mix the dry ingredients. Then add the yeast-sugar-water mixture to the dry mixture and knead everything thoroughly. I always make the dough in my food processor, but it’s certainly good if you knead it by hand, too. Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 45 minutes. Then knead the dough briefly again and dust with a little flour. Shape it into a loaf, place it in a baking dish, score it lightly with a knife, and bake at 220°C (top/bottom heat) for 60 minutes. Enjoy.
