This beautiful brown bread is made with spelt flour and the very nutritious chestnut flour, it has a very unique taste, really delicious. We got the recipe from a newsletter by this cool nutrition expert and it turned out to be a perfectly baked sweet and nutty bread.
Chestnut spelt bread
2 big bread
10 g yeast
1 tbsp sea-salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1½ l cold-water
1 kg whole grain spelt flour
½ kg chestnut flour
some extra virgin olive oil to grease 2 tins
Day 1: Solve yeast, salt and oil in water, add half of the spelt flour and stir it together. Add the rest in smaller amounts while you work the dough. Work it for 5 more minutes after you have added all the flour. Put the dough in 2 greased tins and put it in the fridge over the night.
Day 2: Take the breads out 30 min before baking them. Preheat the oven at 225°C. Bake the breads for 30 min, turn down the heat to 200° and bake for another 20-25 min.
Remove from tins and cool on a wire rack and serve!
