This is a simple sandwich loaf made with my favourite einkorn and spelt, risen with less yeast and wonderful flavour which comes from the long, slow, overnight fermentation in the fridge.

Overnight Spelt Einkorn Bread

inspired by this
  • 3 g Fresh yeast
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 40 ml Warm water
  • 180 ml Soya milk, lukewarm
  • 250 g Spelt bread flour
  • 120 g Einkorn flour
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 20 g Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Oat flour for dusting
  1. Place the yeast, maple syrup and warm water in a bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve yeast. Stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  2. Place spelt bread flour, and einkorn flour into a large bowl. Stir in sea salt, yeast mixture, milk and olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough, about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover and leave in a cool place to rest for 2 hours.
  3. Lightly grease a standard loaf pan. Knock back the dough and knead until smooth. Shape into a log. Place in the prepared pan. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and leave overnight (8-10 hours) to rise in the fridge.
  4. Take it out of the fridge next morning and put it somewhere warm to carry on rising: it could take from 1 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 200C/400F fan-forced.
  5. Lightly dust the risen dough with oat flour. Bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes, then turn down the temperature to 180C/350F fan-forced, and bake for a further 25 minutes or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.

  44. This bread looks and sounds absolutely amazing, the texture looks perfect too. It's nice that you can make it up the night before and leave it to ferment in the fridge, although, I'd have to set the alarm to get up really early to take it out to come to room temperature and continue the proofing.

  71. I am enjoying your series using different types of flours and grains with which to bake.

  72. Beautiful bread! I’m new to bread making and wondering how do you know when it’s time to put it in the oven after it’s taken out of the fridge? Can you tell by seeing how high it rises relative to the pan it’s in?

    ReplyDelete
  73. @Anonymous To know if the dough is properly done rising, just lightly flour your finger and poke the dough down about an inch. If the indent stays, it's ready to bake. If it springs right back, give it a bit more time.

    Hi there! After searching for a day, finally found this amazing recipe. I have my first batch resting before forming into a loaf, right now :). I’ll let you know how it goes. A couple of things… in the recipe instructions it’s not mentioned when to incorporate the 180ml of warm milk. Not an issue for a seasoned bread maker, but it might throw a newbie off. Also, the temperature change from 200C/400F to 180C, states the F @200, should be 180C/355F.
    I love the fact that I can prep and bake in the morning -and- it’s not FULL of salt!
    Thx for a GREAT recipe.
