Spelt Bread

Recipe makes 2 loaves of around 450g (which disappear within minutes)

Ingredients

50g dark chocolate (blitzed 10 seconds speed 5) so still quite chunky
50g grated cheese (used mixture of cheeses already had grated)
100g spelt grain or flour (gives bread an amazing flavour)
260g water (warm/hottish)
40g fresh yeast
400g bakers flour
1 teaspoon salt
50g cured ham (serrano) chopped into bits

1 beaten egg (to brush over)

Preparation

Blitz spelt 30 seconds speed 10. Add water and yeast, 15 seconds, speed 3.
Add flour, salt and program 1 minute *: ::
Remove half dough, and add chocolate chips to other half of dough in THX. Program 10 seconds *: ::
Place on worktop. Then add reserved dough to THX and add cheese and ham and program 20 seconds *: ::
Make the loaves. Roll each dough into a sausage and place on baking tray lined with greaseproof papaer. With some scissors cut through almost to the bottom, make about 5 or 6 cuts and then pull the bits cut to either side to form the shape. Its easy!
Then cover with a clean tea towel, and leave for 15 or 20 minutes to rise. Brush with egg and place in centre hot oven 220º for about 20 minutes, careful as the chocolate one does first! ??? ??? ???

How easy is that! 1 minute. Chocolate one is delicious for breakfast! Oh should I post this in the breakfast section?

Post by: bron on May 08, 2009, 10:45:10 pm: Have made some more yesterday, but added walnuts and raisins to the chocolate one, very very good!

Step one, make 2 sausage shapes

Step two, cut them every inch almost to the bottom

Step three, pull each bit to one side to form the wheat shape

Post by: bron on May 08, 2009, 10:46:21 pm: Step three didnt fit on!

Post by: bron on May 08, 2009, 10:48:43 pm: See how the chocolate one does quicker!
My work of art, in 2 mins in my THX, 30 mins ontop of the tumble dryer, and 25 mins in the oven. It takes us all of 10 mins to demolish them!

Post by: judydawn on May 09, 2009, 01:36:36 am: Great picture show Bron - step by step instructions go down a treat and it looks so easy too! Can anyone tell me where you buy fresh yeast and can the dried be substituted?
Title: Re: Spelt Bread (Chocolate & Ham-Cheese) 2 loaves
Post by: Hannah on May 09, 2009, 02:20:30 am: JudyDawn, I get my fresh yeast from Frewville Foodland, Pasadena Foodland or Burnside Village (cheese shop). It is quite cheap ($5 a kilo), good for about a month depending on how well sealed it is. Once you have used it you won't want dried ever again!
Title: Re: Spelt Bread (Chocolate & Ham-Cheese) 2 loaves
Post by: judydawn on May 09, 2009, 02:29:25 am: OK, I'll try my local Foodland - service deli I presume?
Title: Re: Spelt Bread (Chocolate & Ham-Cheese) 2 loaves
Post by: Hannah on May 09, 2009, 02:46:33 am: Yes - from the service deli.
Title: Re: Spelt Bread (Chocolate & Ham-Cheese) 2 loaves
Post by: bron on May 09, 2009, 05:13:55 pm: You can use dried yeast too. I sometimes use the dried kind, if you buy fresh you can freeze it in portions and then use it as you need it! ;)

Post by: bron on May 15, 2009, 09:35:19 am: If its any consolation, I have done this recipe cutting half the amounts and making two small loaves! ;D
