Spelt Bread
Spelt bread is a rustic, nutty loaf made from freshly ground spelt grains, sunflower seeds and warm spices like allspice and coriander. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the grains to a fine flour in seconds and mixes the dough evenly, giving a well-structured bread with a fragrant crumb and toasted seed crust.
About this recipe
Spelt Bread Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the bakery into your own kitchen with minimal effort. This loaf starts from whole spelt grains that the TM7 grinds into fresh flour, unlocking a nuttier, fuller flavour than anything from a packet. Sunflower seeds add crunch, while ground allspice and coriander give the crumb a gentle warmth that pairs beautifully with cheese or honey at breakfast. Because the all-in-one kitchen machine weighs, grinds and mixes in a single bowl, you avoid extra scales, a grain mill and a separate stand mixer. The result is an honest, preservative-free bread with a tender crumb and crisp, seed-flecked crust, ideal for weekend baking, lunchboxes or a quick weeknight dinner side. Whether you are new to baking with ancient grains or a seasoned home baker, this spelt bread delivers dependable results every single time.
Preparation tips
- For the best rise, activate the fresh yeast with the sugar and lukewarm water first and wait until it foams before adding it to the ground spelt flour and sunflower seeds.
- Toast the sunflower seeds briefly in a dry pan before adding them to the dough; it deepens their nutty flavour and keeps them crunchy throughout the spelt loaf.
- Spelt flour contains little gluten, so knead briefly and handle the dough gently; too much working makes the crumb dense rather than light and airy.
Recipe variations
- Nutty variation: replace half of the sunflower seeds with toasted hazelnuts or walnuts and add a spoonful of honey to the dough for a slightly sweeter, richer spelt bread.
- Savoury herb variation: stir in chopped rosemary and a handful of grated aged cheese instead of the allspice, creating an aromatic spelt loaf that pairs perfectly with soup.
