Spelt Bread

Step 1
Place yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer such as KitchenAid®. Add spelt flour, sugar, and salt, then add water, oil, and vinegar. Mix until ingredients form a dough that pulls away from the bowl.

Step 2
Remove dough from the bowl and shape into a ball. Grease the mixer bowl and place the dough back inside. Flip dough once to make sure its well oiled on both sides. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4
Gently transfer dough into a loaf pan and shape to fit; don't tear or punch the dough–this bursts the air bubbles in the bread and it will come out dense. Let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until bread is done and the pan makes a hollow sound when you tap on the side, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
