A nutty, mild sweet loaf made with a mix of wholegrain spelt and bread flours. Thanks to the black venus rice and roasted peanuts, this light-textured everyday bread is exquisitely nutty, nicely moist, distinctly delicious and makes a nice change from a plain sandwich loaf.
|
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk together the spelt flour, bread flour, and dried yeast. Make a well in the center, add in milk, olive oil, egg, raw sugar and sea salt. Stir at first on low speed until a rough dough begins to form. Increase the speed and beat until the dough is smooth and elastic. Now adjust the speed to low again, add in cooked black rice and chopped peanuts. Stir until they are well-distributed throughout the dough.
- Turn out the dough and shape into a ball. Return it to the mixing bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel leave it in a warm place for an hour or until it’s doubled in size. Divide the dough into 3 portions and shape each into a round. You can also divide the dough 12-15 portions and make them into dinner buns.
- Place 3 round balls into a parchment paper lined loaf pan. Cover again with the towel and set aside in a warm place for a 50 minutes to rise.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. When the loaf has risen, brush the surface with water and bake for 30 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Hi Angie, I am getting more and more intrigued by this black rice as I read your post. I shall go and hunt around the organic shops. I love the looks of this nutty loaf, it just looks so fluffy.
I've never come across rice in bread before, but this looks utterly moist and delicious. With lashings of butter, of course :)
Angie, this black rice is new to me...now i am going to hunt around for them....the nutty loaf looks pillow soft...yum!
Peanuts in bread sounds interesting! How come I have never thought of adding these nuts into my bakes? hmmm...interesting! and your bread sure looks delicious!
Angie....great idea to use black rice as one of the ingredients for this healthy bread. I will keep some for making bread when I next cook black rice :) Thanks for sharing the idea. It must be tasty too !

Even I am bored with my protestations about not being a baker. So I'll just stop talking about it and just admire your work.
Wowo love the idea of this bread, and it looks perfect.
I really need to start making bread again! I love the black rice and peanut infusion!
What a wonderful looking, unique bread, Angie. I love it and would never have thought to put black rice in bread. You are such a great inspiration!
Excellent looking bread

How interesting. I've never heard of putting cooked rice in bread. I love a bread with texture and this one seems to have it. And slightly sweet would be lovely for breakfast. Intriguing!
What an interesting combination. I've never done rice in bread either, but you've inspired me with this wholesome loaf. Amazing!
What an interesting combo of ingredients ... I love it :-)
Would love to have a bite... Looks so inviting
Gorgeous loaf. I love all your ideas and beautiful pictures. I could spend all day looking!
Wow! I want to try this! Probably substitute spelt flour with Wholewheat flour, can? Thanks for another awesome recipe Angie! :D
I picture this with a big spoon of honey spread on top yum, yum!
It looks just fantastic. I have never seen peanuts in bread and I would really love to try a few slices of it.
You come up with the best bread recipes! It looks wonderful.
A slice of this bread with butter and some jam, yum ;)
Oh Angie, you always make creative breads...and this one is another one that I would love to try...looks beautiful and great texture.
Have a wonderful week ahead :)
I use black rice but never thought of including it in bread, peanuts also. You come up with some really interesting and creative ideas.
Did you use black sweet rice or black long grain rice?
I love make bread and this id awesome Angie!:)
What a magnificent loaf - certainly chock of good-for-you stuff.
I'm really liking this one here, cooked rice in bread, that is one I haven't tried before. Your neighbors must love you with those bread smells wafting out of your kitchen. Happy Halloween.

Everyday bread? It looks like something you would serve at a special dinner! It is beautiful. How interesting with rice and peanuts - I would have never thought of this combination. I do love our black rice - it has such a great nutty flavor and is beautiful too.
@Norma ChangBlack venus rice, very much like risotto.
Looks amazing! I am loving the idea and your pictures are so fantastic!
I love grainy, darker bread like this. It's right up my alley. I won't mention anything about slathering it with butter ;)
Angie You are a bread queen. I have never seen such creative recipes of bread on any blog that I follow. You added cooked rice. Do you get all your recipes right the first time?
Using this bread you can make a super delicious sandwich. I use only wholemeal bread when I make sandwiches, much more tasty and interesting than white bread. The addition of black rice is inspiring...
Angie keep the Black rice Recipes coming.
We love black rice in my home.
Yum!
What a great addition the black rice must be to this bread Angie! It looks wonderful!
That's quite innovative..have never thought of using black rice in baking a loaf! Lovely texture.
You always make the best bread Angie! I love the look of this loaf. Wishing I could slice a piece off and cover it with butter and salt. Yuumm!
I have not tried black rice yet, but need to for sure! The flavors in you bread look wonderful, and I love how you made the loaf look, so fun! Hugs,Terra
Beautiful look to your bread- I'm intrigued by the rice and peanuts, very unique;-)
Although black rice is not a strange ingredient to me, I'm so intrigued by having it added in such a beautifully baked loaf.
Gorgeous bread, Angie! I have a packet of black rice, and this would indeed be lovely! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the texture of the bread! :)
Peanut and black rice sounds really great together in this perfectly-baked bread ! Much much better than our usual white bread :D
Angie, you always make such lovely and interesting breads! This one is no exception. The addition of black rice is so unique.
Beautiful :)

A bread I know I would love! I hope I can find some Black Venus rice one day here. Beautiful loaves, Angie!
Angie, I am so craving to try even a 'little morsel' of this amazing creative, and super delicious bread; knowing that I will probably never make it...but 'never say, NEVER!':)
A fantastic and healthy recipe!
Wow amazing recipe,luks too gud...
Hi Angie, I bring coffee....interesting recipe but your bread look excellent. Very well baked and the texture look so good.
Have a nice week ahead.
That is gorgeous!! What a nice looking loaf of bread!!! I wish I having a slice of that right now :-)
This would be perfect with my bowl of Scotch broth soup.....mmmm
Yummy bread and the peanuts are the wow factor for me.
I'm always afraid to make bread, but this recipe makes me want to give it a try. You can't buy bread like this at the grocery store! :D
That looks pretty amazing! I haven't checked on spelt. I have a wheat sensitivity so I eat gluten free. I think you'd like those peanut butter cookies. They're so tender they're almost like shortbread! Anyway, I'm going to look into spelt and see if it's something I can eat. If so, I'm making this recipe. :-)
This bread sounds pretty dang awesome, Angie! Love the addition of peanuts and rice. Happy Halloween! x
I've never actually known before that those black seeds in some breads were rice! That's awesome.
Never even throught about this combo before. I love black rice to make the dessert with cocnut milk. This looks too good and the bread might have the nutty flavour of the black rice as well. Too good dear..nice clicks as always.
Now I know I definitely need to find some black rice! Thanks to you I have fallen in love with using spelt in crusts and pancakes, so I can't wait to move up to a loaf of bread like this. The peanuts were a nice addition.
Rice bread? I have never heard of anything like this before! This sounds fabulous!
This is such a beautiful loaf. I just got some black rice but haven't make anything yet. Guess I'll have to make this bread soon.
this is so original Angie! I must bookmark it. I have never thought of pairing peanuts in bread. Delicious recipe X
Black rice seems to be very popular recently. It is often combined with black sesame, black soybeans/black beans to create some kind of "black" beverage too, when all of them are grind to powder.
amazingly looking and sounding bread. so delicious and nurishing. love whole spelt and black rice. can bread get any better than this?
Rice...in bread...with peanuts?! Genius.
I love the three domes in the loaf pan! The bread looks delicious with the grains of black rice.
This sounds so sexy and exotic. I love it, Angie!
I JUST got a FB page last night (I know, I'm all laaaate)...find me and I'll find you =)

That's original. Rice in bread.. that is so new to me and the bread looks perfect!

That is a beautiful loaf of bread!
Yummy looking loaf of bread... Rice in bread wow got to try it

A very unique bread with black rice, how cool, I would love to try!
i think one day i will need to go and look for black rice! i'm so inspired by your breads!
I am passing this recipe to my husband, Angie. He is the designated breadmaker of the family so he'll want to know all about this gorgeous recipe. Rice! What a great bread ingredient!
What a creative mix of ingredients! I'm definitely in the mood to bake some bread, but now I just have to find the time.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful bake Angie. Love the appearance of your bread. I missed oven so much. You have just tempted me to bake something out of it.
Hope you're having a wonderful day. Is it snowing already over in Germany?
Love, Kristy
Wow! This is pretty amazing with black rice! AWESOME & love the soft fluffy texture of this bread! :)
Black rice has a deep black color and usually turns deep purple when cooked. Plucked from the Poireiton variety, you can expect nothing but top-notch quality.
