Healthy Sweet Bread Recipe Made With Spelt Flour

HEALTHY SWEET BREAD RECIPE MADE WITH SPELT FLOUR

Steps:

• Heat a small sauce pan on the stove at medium-high heat to scald the milk. Scald milk in the pan on the stove top so it bubbles slightly around the edges but does not boil. As soon as the edges start to bubble remove from the heat. Let cool to lukewarm.
• Once the milk has cooled to lukewarm transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Combine the milk, yeast, 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar and 1/2 cup of flour. Mix well. Cover and set for 1 hour in a warm place or in the oven with it off and a bowl of warm water on a baking rack below.
• After 1 hour add to your yeast mixture 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, 2 beaten eggs. Mix well. Slowly add melted coconut oil and continue to mix so the oil does not harden. Stir into a dough. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour. Knead for about 3-5 minutes and add more flour if needed. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl to rise. Cover and let rise in a cooled oven with a bowl of water underneath for about 3 hours.
• Remove from oven the preheat oven at 375 Degrees F.
• On a floured surface, divide dough into thirds. Pinch at the top and braid. Pinch at the base and make into a circle. Bast the top of the bread with 1 egg yolk. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds. Bake 20-25 minutes.
• *FOR ROLLS: Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place 2 inch dough rounds about 1/2 in apart so you have a total of 12 rolls. Let rise 30 minutes. Baste the tops of the rolls with 1 egg yolk. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes.

TASTY-HEALTHY WHOLE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Roast the sesame seeds and set aside.
• Grease a 11.5 x 5 inch loaf pan.
• Dissolve yeast in a 1/2 cup of water.
• Sift flour into bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix until a smooth dough is formed.
• Fill dough into loaf pan and let dough rise for about 1 hour. The dough should rise noticable in that time. Otherwise extend time.
• Meanwhile preheat oven (480 F, 250 C).
• Put loaf pan into oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 390 F (200 C) and bake for another 45 minutes.
• Take bread out of the oven and turn it around. Bread should easily come out of the loaf pan.
• Put bread into the oven again and bake for additional 15 - 30 minutes. Check frequently. When you thump on the Bread and it sounds hollow, bread is done.
• Take the bread out of the oven and let cool down.
• NOTE: I take the bread out of the loaf pan after 1 hour of baking and bake it until it is done. If the bread should not come out of the loaf pan easily, bake it until it is done in the form. The bread is dense (I like it that way). The moisture can be regulated by baking time, but bake it at least for 1 hour.
• NOTE: You can replace the whole spelt flour against whole wheat flour. You could also use other seeds. Try what you like best.
