About this recipe:
A rustic, yeast free, whole grain loaf baked with spelt flour. As with all soda breads it is important to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Equipment:
1kg/2lb loaf tin and mixing bowl
Ingredients:
450g Doves Farm Organic Wholemeal Spelt Flour
2 tsp Doves Farm Bicarbonate of Soda
pinch of salt
50ml boiling water
150ml cold water
250g natural yoghurt
oil, for tin and brushing
Method:
200°C, Fan 180°C, 400°F, Gas 6
- Pre-heat the oven.
- Rub some oil around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner.
- Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl. Tip any bran left in the sieve into the bowl.
- Measure the boiling water into a jug and add the cold water.
- Add the yoghurt and stir to combine.
- Pour this into the mixing bowl and stir everything together to make a soft, sticky dough mass.
- Tip the dough into the prepared tin, smooth the top and dust lightly with flour.
- Brush some oil over a piece of tin foil. With the oiled side down, cover the tin, creating a dome so the bread can rise during cooking.
- Bake for 55 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tin foil and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Turn the loaf out of the tin, tap the base and if it sounds hollow the bread is cooked.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Cool completely before slicing.

I love this bread - I find that as well as bicarbonate a teaspoon of baking powder also helps and I usually need an additional 50ml of the yogurt/water mixture. I sometimes use 400ml of buttermilk if I have no natural yogurt in place of the yogurt & water. I make this up the night before to allow it an overnight ferment as well so the spelt is more easily digestible. Sometimes I also add dates and walnuts and sometimes I use half spelt and half fine wholemeal flour. Keeps well for about 2 days and after that I toast it which is also delicious.

Absolutely delicious thanks. I made it with buttermilk instead of yoghurt and added 120g mixed seeds and chopped walnuts, so I upped the bicarb by 1/4 tsp.

Greetings from the US! I would love to make this break; however, I have one question: can this be made with Greek yogurt or does the recipe require regular yogurt? The recipe does not specify, so I wanted to be sure. If Greek yogurt is to be used, would I need to add additional liquid? Thank you in advance!

A lovely bread; crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and so easy to make with so few ingredients! I have used the recipe using other flours and they have all came out well.
