This spelt seed bread is a quick and easy recipe for a wholesome and delicious loaf.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, yeast, salt, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the yeast and seeds.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Add water slowly to avoid overhydrating the dough.
Transfer the dough into a greased loaf tin, spreading it evenly.
Grease the tin well to prevent sticking.
Place the tin in the oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Check the bread's doneness by tapping; it should sound hollow.
Remove the loaf from the tin and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to crisp the crust.
This step enhances the crust's texture.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Cooling prevents the bread from becoming gummy when sliced.
