Combine spelt flour, wholemeal spelt flour, coarsely chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and spices in a food processor. Dissolve the yeast in a large cup with a little lukewarm water and honey. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and knead briefly. Let the dough rest for 1 minute, then add the remaining lukewarm water and a dash of balsamic vinegar and knead for about 5 minutes. Let the dough rise for about 2 hours, until it has visibly increased in size. Place the risen dough in a baking pan and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Tip: Moisten your hand and gently press the seeds onto the dough with the palm of your hand. Preheat the oven to 235°C (top/bottom heat). Bake the bread for 10 minutes at 235°C (450°F), then reduce the temperature to 210°C (420°F) and bake for another 40 minutes. Approx. 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of bread
