Ingredients

300g Wholegrain spelt flour

200g Strong wholemeal bread flour

1 Tsp salt

1 Tsp Sugar

1 Tsp fast-acting yeast

300ml Warm Water

1 Tbsp Olive oil

Method

1. Combine the flours, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix well. 

2. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly add the water, whilst mixing 

3. Work into a rough and lumpy dough and add the olive oil

4. Mix and knead for a minute or two, being careful not to over-knead as spelt can become hard and dry when over-worked.

5. Cover bowl with a tea-towel and leave to double in size for about an hour

6. Shape and place into an oiled loaf tin, cover with a tea-towel again and leave to rise for a further 20 minutes in a warm place.

7. Bake at 200 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or 220 for non fan assisted ovens. The bread is ready if it sound hollow when you tap the bottom!
