About this recipe
Spelt and Honey Tear and Share Bread Thermomix TM7 brings a bakery-worthy pull-apart loaf to your own kitchen, and it is far easier than most people expect. Searching for a spelt bread recipe that works in an all-in-one kitchen machine usually ends in dense disappointment, but here the TM7 takes over the heavy lifting: you weigh the spelt flour and runny honey straight into the bowl, and the powerful kneading mode develops the gluten until the dough is soft, elastic and slightly tacky. Spelt gives the crumb a delicate nuttiness that pairs beautifully with floral honey, while a splash of oil keeps each torn piece tender rather than dry. Because it is shaped into little buns clustered together in one tin, everyone simply pulls off a piece, making it a brilliant centrepiece for weekend brunch, a shared breakfast table or a relaxed family dinner. It also makes a thoughtful homemade hostess gift. Serve it warm with salted butter, a drizzle of extra honey or a slice of sharp cheese, and watch the whole loaf disappear within minutes.
Preparation tips
- Use lukewarm water rather than hot when activating the dried instant yeast, and always add the sea salt away from the yeast so it does not hinder the rise of your spelt dough.
- Let the shaped buns prove in the tin until they look visibly puffed and just touching, then bake until deep golden; a hollow sound on the base means your tear and share loaf is fully baked.
- For a richer flavour, brush the warm crust with a little extra runny honey and a pinch of sea salt flakes after baking; the spelt bread also freezes beautifully once cooled and sliced.
- The dough should feel soft and slightly sticky, so resist adding much extra spelt flour; lightly oiled hands make shaping the little buns far easier than a floured worktop.
Recipe variations
- Savoury herb version: knead chopped rosemary and grated cheese into the spelt dough and skip the honey glaze, creating a fragrant tear and share bread that pairs wonderfully with soup or a cheese board.
- Festive cinnamon variant: roll each small bun in a mixture of cinnamon and soft brown sugar before placing in the tin, so pulling the honey spelt loaf apart reveals sweet, spiralled layers perfect for Christmas morning.
