This is one of our favourite breads. It has a taste of  "sourdough bread" . Bake it in bread pans or on a hot baking stone.

Ingredients:

3-5 g fresh yeast
1 l cold water
2 tsp salt
1100 g spelt, fresh ground with the Thermomix or grain mill
200 g rye, fresh ground with the Thermomix or grain mill

50 g extra flour
50 g sesame seed, flaxseed and/or sunflower seed


Method:

•Combine yeast in water in a very large bowl and dissolve salt
•Add  fresh ground flours and mix with a wooden spoon
•Cover the sticky dough/batter. Let rise for 4 to 10 hours, no longer, in the warm kitchen
•Grease 2 bread pans and preheat the oven to 225°C / 450°F
•Knead the air out and form with the help of the extra flour in 2 rolls
•Turn with the seam down in prepared pans, mist with water and sprinkle with seeds
•Let rest covered for 5 minutes
•Place the bread pans with a heat proof cup/pan of water in the oven and bake for 50-60 min

That sounds great Tebasile - thanks!  I'm running out of spelt grain, but I think I have enough to try this... got heaps of rye though - think I could use more rye and less spelt?  May make it too heavy though.

You're welcome Jo. I wouldn't use more rye with this recipe......maybe 50-100g  ???..... rising time and yeast wouldn't be enough....

almost

You can mix half the recipe with the TMX . Cleaning the bowl would be more work  ;)

Tebasile - thank you so much.  Will have to get my hands on some spelt and try this.  Looks so light and fluffy - unlike my bricks.

Would this work with wheat?  I'm trying to "shop from my house" and not buy different ingredients to what I have.

Yes it would Cathy, as long it is wholegrain. What does "shop from your house" mean ? Du you have a store or you use what you have?

Yes, I have whole wheat that I was going to try milling into fresh flour and try this recipe.  What about instant yeast?

I mean that I have so much food in my house, that I'm trying to use some of the $$ up in the pantry, rather than spend more $$.  It's a bit of a self-challenge I suppose.  I see new ingredients and buy them, then if I'm not careful they languish in the cupboard.  Eg adzuki beans, chickpeas, whole oat groats, couscous, coconut flour are all new ingredients that I've bought in the last few months that I really have to get cooking with, rather than buying more things to try.

We do this regularly here.. amazing how creative the dishes get! ;)

This week all I've bought is fresh f&v, milk cheese, eggs.  So must be making a dent in the pantry and freezer.  Maybe we should start a challenge.

I shop for our groceries on a monthly basis (fruit, veg & milk each week) and by the end of each month I often need to be creative.  I really hate waste and like using up what we have in creative ways.  It's a challenge and it saves heaps of money too.  ;D

Yepp, you can use a level teaspoon or less.

I think that would be a great challenge Cathy - use up what's in the freezer and cupboard!!  I have all sorts of interesting ingredients - so many different grains it's ridiculous!!

This is my favourite bread recipe so far :)

I halve the recipe for my medium loaf tin, mill the grains in the TM and do the rest by hand: about 30s mix at the beginning and 30s knead at the end. Also add some caraway at the beginning. It comes out a little denser than the picture above :)

Have tried letting it rise in the tin for a couple of hours before baking. Seemed to work as well and the top doesn't split that way.

Anyone tried longer fermentation - like 18 hours?

Cheerio,
B

Peerhaps overnight in the fridge would work well. I haven't tried it with this recipe though.

Thanks Bingggo, that's my favourite too  :).  I'm going to try the longer fermentation with cookies tip in the fridge  ;) .

Hi folks,

I have made this bread many, many times; and enjoy the taste a lot!

However, the crumb looks different from the picture in the recipe - a bit more 'gluey' - and wonder what I could do to improve? Is there a particular factor that would improve it? More milling (I do 60-90s on speed 9-10 in 220g lots), more yeast, more kneading, more heat, more time? They come out of the oven at 90+ degrees on my meat thermometer and I let them cool for hours.

Sometimes I use all spelt, as in this photo's case, but spelt and rye looks similar (click the link for a bigger version).

Cheerio!
