Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups water, lukewarm
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 4-6 bits
3 cups spelt flour, organic
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed light brown
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast
1/2 teaspoon bread machine yeast
flax seed
sunflower seeds, raw
1/2 cup spelt flour, for kneading and shaping

1
Insert all items into bread machine starting with the first listed ingredient and ending with the yeast or seeds/nuts. Keep the extra spelt for kneading it into the loaf shape of your choice.
2
Set machine to dough cycle (1.5 hours for me).
3
When it finishes, powder your hands with the extra spelt flour and grab the dough.
4
Shape it into a loaf shape, using extra spelt as necessary to shape.
5
Place in a greased loaf pan.
6
Turn your oven to the lowest temperature for two minutes. Then shut it off and place your loaf in there.
7
Let rise for about 35 minutes. It'll maybe not look too tall, but don't worry. It should have at least grown by 50%.
8
Turn oven on to 375 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes (don't worry about preheat time. Those 8 minutes are included when I did it).
9
Bread should be pretty much done, but let it slide out of loaf pan and cook on wire rack in oven for 10 more minutes at 300 degrees.
10
When done, let it cool for ten minutes. You can avoid the urge to start eating by getting coffee going.
11
Enjoy, with or without coffee.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
