Super Easy Oatmeal Spelt Bread Recipes

VERY SIMPLE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together the spelt flour, sesame seeds, salt, molasses, baking soda and milk until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Placing a tin of the same size over the top of the loaf while baking gives it a lovely crust.

OAT-SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup warm water, 1/4 cup spelt flour, yeast, and white sugar in a very large mixing bowl. Let the yeast proof and grow for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in remaining water, oats, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and molasses. Add salt, then add remaining spelt flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Transfer the dough to a generously oiled bowl, turning dough several times to oil all sides so it won't stick or dry out. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and shape into loaves. Transfer loaves to greased loaf pans and let rise until dough is about 1/2 inch higher than the top of the pans, about 1 hour longer.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake loaves in the preheated oven until tops are brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then remove from the pans and finish cooling on wire racks.

OATMEAL SPELT BROWN BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine oats and boiling water. Let cool to lukewarm.
• Add butter, warm water, salt and molasses. Stir and pour into bread bucket.
• Add both flours and yeast. Start machine on dough cycle. (Or use whole grain cycle and disregard step 4.).
• When cycle ends, dump out dough on floured board. Knead several times and place in greased loaf pan. Let rise in warm place until doubled. Bake at 375ºF for 20-30 minutes.

SUPER EASY OATMEAL SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine milk & vinegar, stir & let sit for a bit.
• In a large bowl, (I use my kitchen aid mixer) combine the flours, salt, and yeast; make a well in the center and add the milk mixture, egg, honey and melted butter and mix to combine. Add the oatmeal and continue to mix for several minutes on medium until the batter is elastic but it will still be *very* sticky and not your traditional "kneadable" dough consistency.
• Cover and let rise until dough doubles in size, about an hour.
• Grease two bread pans. Divide the dough between the pans, you'll literally be pouring/glooping it out - cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until the bread is about 1/2 inch above the rim of the pans, about 1 hour.
• Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 30-45 minutes, until the loaves are golden brown on top and make a hollow sound when thumped on the bottom. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
