Our Home-baked Bread

Our Home-baked Bread

No bread tastes better than the self-baked fresh bread from your own oven.
You know exactly what's in it and with a certain routine, it is really quickly made.

We do not eat store-bought bread for several years already; but always bake our own.

We love making homemade bread.

We use fresh original spelt and grind it at home in our little flour mill.
After trying some different types of grain, the original spelt has convinced us most.

We order the grain from an organic farm in the Bavarian Alps.
We always buy a 25kg bag, this pleases the postman, since it is not so easy to carry 😀.

Our kids always find it really exciting to see when the finished flour comes out of the mill.

Baking bread is so easy!

We use only very few ingredients, no bread machine, no mixer with dough hooks and no bread box for the oven - but organic ingredients without any suspicious additives.

Conventional bread usually contains emulsifiers, preservatives, flavor enhancers, stabilizers and tons of salt.

By baking your own bread at home, you can easily avoid such things.

Flour, yeast, water, a few seeds and sea salt is all you need to get an irresistible bread with a crispy crust.

Baking bread is not complicated or too time-consuming!

Besides the time for rising the dough the bread is really fast prepared.

We like to eat our bread with a delicious spread, like our homemade bear's garlic pesto or our spicy salsa sauce.

We hope you have fun baking now and hopefully, you will be as addicted to this delicious home-baked bread as we are.

  • Category: Bread
  • Type: Vegan
  • Preparation time: 2:00:00
  • Servings: 2 loafs of bread

Ingredients:

  • 1kg freshly ground original spelt flour (almost every health food store offers the possibility to grind the grain)
  • 600ml of warm water
  • 20g of fresh yeast
  • sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds or flax seeds as you like
  • sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Grind the grain.
  2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
  3. Add salted seeds of your choice to the flour.
  4. Add the yeast water to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon.
  5. Knead the dough firmly.
  6. Close the bowl with a lid and let the dough rise for about 1-2 hours in a warm place.
  7. Preheat the oven and form two round or two long loaves of bread.
  8. Bake about 10 minutes at 120 degrees and then turn up to 180 degrees and bake for another 25 minutes.
  9. Check if dough with a toothpick if it's well baked.

Notes:

Many people say yeast dough takes too long.
I usually prepare the dough right after breakfast, which is done very quickly.
When I make lunch, I just form the loaves and put them in the oven.

A bowl of water on the bottom of the oven helps to make a nice crust.

Those who love lavender, should try this bread with a teaspoon of grated lavender flowers - it's simply delicious.

We always bake more bread than we could eat at a time.
We slice it and freeze it.
Just take it out of the freezer about two hours before eating and it tastes like freshly baked.
