Spelt – yogurt white bread

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• ½ cube of yeast
• 1 pinch(s) of sugar
• 400 ml yogurt
• 250 g spelt (spelt flour)
• 250 g flour (wheat flour)
• 100 ml water
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 15 minutes

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the yogurt (room temperature) (let stand for 10 minutes). Add the spelt flour, wheat flour, salt, and warm water and knead thoroughly (about 5 minutes). Let the dough stand in a warm place for about 60 minutes. It should double in size while rising. Then knead it again and pour it into a bread pan (or loaf pan) (leaving at least 3 cm of space to the top of the pan). After another 10 minutes of rising time (preheat the oven to 200°C during this time), brush the top of the bread with milk and place the pan in the oven. Bake the bread on the bottom rack for 25-35 minutes. After this time, I turn it out of the pan and bake it for another 5-10 minutes to ensure the crust is nice and crispy on the bottom, but that’s a matter of taste, of course! The bread tastes great with both sweet and savory toppings!
