Ingredients

• 350 g spelt flour
• 100 g whole wheat flour
• 50 g rolled oats
• 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 325 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, yeast, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 6

Brush the top of the loaf lightly with water and sprinkle the additional rolled oats over it for a decorative touch.

Step 7

Cover the pan loosely with a cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Oatmeal Spelt Brown Bread as desired!
