How to make
Dissolve the yeast, sugar and two or three spoons of the white flour in the water - slightly warmed to body temperature.
Cover this thin mixture with a clean cloth and let it activate for 7-8 minutes.
Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in which you will pour the oil and activated yeast. Knead the dough, gradually adding the salt and flour until a smooth and elastic dough is obtained. Place it in a bowl and let rise for 1 hour, covered with a towel.
Form a round bread from the risen dough, make slits on its surface with the help of a sharp knife, sprinkle with flour and place it in a baking pan with a diameter of about 9″ (24 cm).
Let the bread rise again until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C), placing a fireproof cup of water on the rack. Insert the baking pan with spelt bread and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 360°F (180°C) and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until fully baked.
Leave the baked rustic bread to cool on a wire rack and serve it to your table with your favorite dish.
Enjoy your meal!
