Let the bread machine do all the mixing and kneading work for you! This easy-to-follow spelt bread recipe requires minimal work with a bread machine. All you have to do is shape the dough into a loaf and bake. It's fuss-free, quick, and so delicious. You can enjoy having fresh homemade bread any time of the year and it makes a perfect alternative to everyday white bread. Store completely cool bread well-wrapped, at room temperature, for several days and freeze for longer storage. If you don't want to include gingerbread spice, then leave it out or use cinnamon instead. Liquid whey is the liquid of strained yoghurt. You can either make it yourself or get it from the store or simply use water, milk or buttermilk instead for the recipe.

150 ml Liquid whey (liquid of strained yoghurt) 200 g Hokkaido pumpkin puree (or canned pumpkin puree) 50 g Ghee, melted 100 g Wholemeal spelt flour 380 g White spelt flour 50 g Coconut sugar (or brown raw sugar) 1/2 tsp Kala Nama black salt (or sea salt) 1 tsp Gingerbread spice mix 2 tsp Active dry yeast 1 Small egg for the topping 1 tbsp Sesame seeds for the topping

1. Have all the ingredients at room temperature. Place kneading blade in bread machine pan. Add the ingredients to the machine’s pan as suggested by the manufacturer. Usually liquid first, then dry ingredients. Select the DOUGH cycle.
2. After 5 minutes, open the machine and touch the dough to check its consistency. The dough should form a soft ball around the kneading blade. If it is too dry, add ½ to 1 tablespoon liquid whey or water at a time. If dough is too wet, add 1 tablespoon flour at a time until the right dough consistency is reached. When the cycle is done, turn out the dough and shape into a loaf. (You can also make this in your stand mixer. Add whey, pumpkin puree and melted ghee in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir together until mixed. Add in the rest of dough ingredients. Mix on low for 3-5 minutes until a dough comes together. Increase the speed and knead for 8 minutes until the dough has become elastic and smooth. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Gently deflate dough, and transfer to a lightly floured work surface to shape the dough.)
3. Place in a standard-size loaf pan and cover with lightly sprayed plastic wrap and allow to rise 40-50 minutes. Near the end of the rise, preheat oven to 180C/350F. Whisk the small egg until combined and brush the top of the dough. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over.
4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Tent with aluminum foil after 25 minutes to prevent over-browning. Remove the bread from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool.
