This recipe makes enough for one loaf but if you want more, you can always double the ingredients. It takes about nineteen to twenty hours to rise and then forty-five minutes to hour to bake. Once you get that first incredible taste, it will make all the waiting you had to do so worth it!

Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

300 g (4 ¼ dl; 2 ¼ cups) bread flour
100 g (2 dl; ½ + ⅓ cup) whole wheat spelt flour
1 ¼ tsp (8 g) fine sea salt
3 g fresh yeast (or 1 g / ¼ tsp instant active dry yeast)
1 ½ cups cool water

more flour for dusting

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

 Combine both flours, salt. Dissolve  yeast in the water (if you're using instant active dry yeast skip this step and add  yeast straight to t dry ingredients). Add  yeast water to  dry ingredients. Stir until blended. The dough will be quite wet and very sticky. If it's not tacky, add a little more water. Cover with  kitchen towel, let rise for 12 -18 hours at room temperature. The dough is ready when it's more than double in size and surface is dotted with bubbles.

Pull  dough onto a generously dusted work surface. Dust  dough with a flour, cover with  kitchen towel, let rest for further 15 minutes.

With lightly floured hands, pull  edges of  dough into centre to form  into a round or oval shape. Wrap  shaped dough, seam side down, in a generously dusted kitchen towel . Let  dough rise for 1 – 2 hours. It's ready when it's more than double in size and will not spring back when poked.

At least half an hour before the end of the second rise, preheat  oven to 225°C (450°F) ,place a heavy covered pot,  on  rack in lower third position. When  dough is ready to be baked, remove it from  oven. Lightly dust  bottom of t pot with flour.  Turn  dough over into  pot, seam side up (this will ensure beautiful cracks). Shake  pan a couple of times if the dough is unevenly distributed. Bake  30 minutes covered and for further 15 – 30 minutes uncovered until the crust is deep golden. Cool on a rack or rip it into pieces while steaming hot.
