Directions without a bread machine:
put water and yeast in a bowl, allow a few minutes for the yeast to activate.
add honey, oil and salt (If you prefer to be sugar-free, use 1 T of stevia in place of the honey, you may need a little extra flour to make up for the liquid to dry exchange). Mix on low about 30 seconds.
slowly add spelt flour. Once combined, mix on medium for about 3 minutes. until combined and smooth.
Spray loaf pan or baking sheet with coconut oil spray, or grease with coconut oil. shape as desired on baking sheet {rolls, knots, etc.) or shape and place in loaf pan. cover with a damp cloth and let rise for approximately 30-45 minutes. Bake in 350 oven. approx.. 30 minutes for loaf, 10-20 minutes for rolls. The bread will be browned and sound hollow when rapped.
This bread recipe is so versatile! Thanks mom!
ReplyDeleteMake basic spelt bread recipe on dough setting stopping after about 5 minutes of continuous mixing, now you have a basic dough that you can make a few different things with:
STICKY BUNS
Roll out dough and spread with 1/4 cup soft butter, sprinkle with 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp cloves and 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Roll up and slice into 1 1/2" slices.
Put 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a 13X9 pan, mix together and place slices in pan. Let rise for approx 20 minutes. Bake at 350F for approx 30 minutes, checking for doneness.
BAGELS
roll into a ball {approx size of lemon, the bagel won't get much larger than the size you shape it into} and push your fingers through the center to make a hole. shape into a bagel and let rest on floured surfaced approx 10 minutes. boil bagels in water for approx 2 minutes each side. The best way to keep bagels from sticking to the baking sheet is to cover it with non-stick reynolds wrap. put bagels on covered sheet and bake at 375F for approx 25 minutes.
FLATBREAD
taking a small amount of dough (approx size of tangerine) press or roll into a circle about 1/4" thick. Cook in a dry skillet on medium high heat approx 1-2 minutes per side. Use as a wrap for sandwiches or tacos, or cut into wedges for dip or hummus.
*to make frybread, prepare the same way, but cook bread in a skillet with an inch of oil.
