Because of a lot of stress (master’s thesis, family issues, and health problems) I haven’t had time and energy to bake my own bread this year so far. Today I felt motivated to get back to it – store-bought bread just doesn’t come with a nice crust, and I craved some ‘real’ food. This bread is a very simple one, made from spelt flour (1/2 whole grain, 1/2 white flour) with dry yeast, salt, and water. I added a little bit of baking powder for extra fluffiness and put a bowl of water with salt and herbs in the oven. Top and bottom are sprinkled with pestled flaxseed and amaranth (adding some crunch and nutrients).
One of these days I want to try my hands at sourdough.
The best thing about fresh bread (besides getting to choose the ingredients)? Eating the first, still warm slice with butter.

I used to bake my own bread too; I hated the feeling of the dry ingredients, but the aroma of rising yeast, knocking back the risen heap, and that first warm slice with crunchy crust… mmmmm
