Whole Wheat Soft Sandwich Bread

Ingredients
  

First Step

  • 350 g water 90 degrees
  • 45 g honey
  • 30 g olive oil
  • 460 g Spelt freshly ground

Second Step

  • 2 tsp. instant yeast (I use SAF instant)
  • 9 g salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix warm water, oil, and honey
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix in the flour scraping the bowl until the dough comes together.
  • Let the dough sit covered (I use a plate) for 15-20 minutes to let the flour absorb the liquid.
  • After the rest, lift the cover, add salt and yeast until well combined. Knead the dough in the mixer using the dough hook for 5 minutes.
  • Let dough rise 1/3
  • Scrape the dough onto a clean surface. Dough should be slightly sticky at this point. If needed, spray work surface, hands, and rolling pin with alittle water to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Roll dough into a rectangle about 8” X 12” then stretch and roll into a tight loaf.
  • Place the dough into the prepared bread pans, gently pressing it into the corners. Let rise until slightly domed above the tops of pans (this should take 20-30 minutes). During this time pre-heat the oven.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.
