Ingredients:

3 cups spelt flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup mixed seeds (such as sunflower, pumpkin, and flax seeds)

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 tsp active dry yeast

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

1. Activate the Yeast:

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and bubbly. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to be used.

Time: 10 minutes

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, whole wheat flour, mixed seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.

4. Knead the Dough:

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Time: 15 minutes

5. First Proofing:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Time: 1-2 hours

6. Shape the Loaf:

Punch down the dough to release the air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Time: 30-45 minutes

7. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Temperature: 375°F (190°C)

8. Bake the Bread:

Once the dough has risen again, bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Time: 30-35 minutes

9. Cool and Enjoy:

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious spelt flour and seed bread!
