Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups Spelt Flour sifted plus a little extra for kneading and dusting
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 ½ Tbls Light Soft Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup plus 1 Tbls Buttermilk
  • ½ cup Mixed Nuts with Fruit your choice (I used mixed nuts with cranberries)
  • 2 Tbls Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
  • 2 Tbls Roasted Sunflower Seeds

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with Spelt flour.
  2. In a large bowl, add the sifted Spelt Flour, Salt, Baking Soda and Sugar mixing until well incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the Mixed Nuts, Fruits and Seeds (of choice, should all total about 1 cup).
  4. Make a well in the center and add in the Buttermilk, bringing it all together with a fork or spoon until dough forms.
  5. On a parchment lined counter, dust with flour and turn out the dough, kneading and lightly dusting as needed, until well incorporated.
  6. Form dough into a 6 - 8 inch round loaf and place on the pre-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake in preheated 425°F oven for 10 minutes.
  8. Turn heat down to 400°F and continue to bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the base of the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool on a wire rack, slice and enjoy.
