Ingredients:
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons MAMBO natural yeast alternative
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
Preparation:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the seeds throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve the MAMBO natural yeast alternative in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the honey, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
- Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the greased loaf pan. Cover it again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
