Everyday Spelt Bread ### Ingredients:

2 cups spelt flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine warm water and honey (or maple syrup). Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air bubbles. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with the damp cloth again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
