Simple Spelt Bread Recipe

Ingredients:
- 500g Wholemeal Spelt Flour
- 300ml Warm Water
- 1 Packet (7g) Dry Yeast
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
2. Add the wholemeal spelt flour, salt, olive oil, and honey (if using) to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Make a shallow cut along the top of your loaf with a sharp knife. This helps the bread expand as it bakes.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Make your own bread and reduce plastic waste from bread bags. Bread bags, typically made from plastic such as polyethylene, contribute to pollution primarily through their production, use, and disposal. Each year, millions of bread bags end up in landfills or as litter, taking hundreds of years to decompose. The production process itself releases greenhouse gases, and when disposed of improperly, these bags can harm wildlife, clog waterways, and contribute to the microplastic problem in oceans.
