Recipe for Spelt Flour Bread Without a Machine

Put the flour in a large bowl, make a well, pour in the dried yeast and 300 ml of lukewarm water. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the salt and continue kneading until you obtain a firm dough ball. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour.

Then flour and knead the dough again and let it rest for another 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C when there are 10 minutes left of resting time.

To finish, place the dough ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes and place a bowl of water underneath the baking sheet (to prevent the dough from drying out). The bread is done when it sounds hollow.
