At home, we always eat whole wheat bread. I had a hard time finding whole wheat spelt bread—most of what I found wasn’t whole wheat, so we decided to buy a bread maker and make our own bread. It lasts us about 4 days (I’m not sure if it would last longer, because we eat it before then).

Steps

Over 1 hour

1

Measure the salt, yeast, and psyllium using the small side of the bread maker’s measuring spoon.
2

Pour the water into the bread pan, then add the olive oil, yeast, flour, and psyllium (pre-mixed), and finally the salt.
3

Select program 3, 1000 g weight, and quick mode.
4

When the machine beeps 10 times in a row, you can add seeds or nuts if you like.
5

When there is 1 hour and 5 minutes left, remove the kneading paddles and shape the dough in the bread pan. When finished, remove the bread and place it on a wire rack to cool and release moisture. To store it better, keep it in a cloth bag.
6

Sometimes I make it with a mix of flours (3 1/3 cups whole wheat spelt flour and 2/3 cup whole wheat flour—about 400 g spelt and 100 g wheat), and other times with all spelt. Adjust to your taste.

I recommend buying granulated yeast from a bakery. I’ve tried several packet and fresh yeasts, but the bread would sink. I’ve found that the key is in the yeast.
