Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3-½ cups spelt flour white spelt flour (420 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-¾ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 424°F, (218°C) prepare a baking sheet by spraying with cooking oil
- Sift the flour salt and baking soda together into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk, reserving 1/4 cup. Mix the buttermilk into the flour quickly to make a soft dough but not wet and sloppy. Add the reserved quarter cup of buttermilk if needed. Remember to be quick as the rising action has started.
- Turn the dough out on a floured surface and give it 4 or 5 quick kneads, forming it into a 6-inch mound. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and with a sharp knife cut a cross on the top about 1/4 inch deep.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Until golden brown. Check for doneness by lifting the loaf off the baking sheet and tapping on the bottom. If it is done it will sound hollow.
- Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes on a baking rack, serve warm.
