Ingredients
- 3 cups whole spelt flour, or 1 1/2 cups einkorn flour and 1 1/2 cups whole spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly flour a baking sheet (do not grease).
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, oil and water. Mix wet ingredients into dry just until a smooth dough forms.
On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead dough to shape, about 3 minutes, and then form it into a 6-inch diameter round loaf.
Place dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score it in a semicircle. Bake until golden and firm to touch, about 50 minutes. Let bread cool for 45 minutes before serving.
Special notes:
If you prefer, honey works wonderfully in this recipe rather than maple syrup. The final loaf will have a lovely shine to it.
