No Knead 100% Whole Spelt Bread with Sunflower Seeds

Labels: { Bread, Breakfast, Nuts and Seeds, Spelt }

The generous amount of toasted sunflower seeds lends a delicious and very distinctive nuttiness to this hearty no-knead wholemeal spelt bread. Crunchy and nutty from the healthy dose of seeds and whole grain, this bread makes a great sandwich, and super toast. If you don't have wholemeak spelt, just use regular wholewheat flour, and besides sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds are a great substitute. Another alternative is use a mix of different seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and flax).

500 g Wholemeal spelt flour
1/2 tsp Dried yeast
1 tbsp Raw sugar
100 g Sunflower seeds, toasted + 30 g raw for the topping
1 tsp Sea salt
400 ml Lukewarm water
2 tbsp Plain yoghurt

In a large mixing bowl, add in spelt flour, dried yeast, raw sugar, 100 grams of toasted sunflower seeds and sea salt. Add in water and stir everything together. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside on the kitchen counter for 17 hours at the room-temperature.
Next day, grease and dust a 24cmx11cm loaf pan with some breadcrumbs or simply line the pan with parchment paper. Fold the dough from the side to the middle and tip the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Cover it with the kitchen towel and set aside for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place a tin with a cup of cold water on the bottom of the oven. Brush the top of the dough with yoghurt and sprinkle the sunflower seeds over.
Bake in the middle of hot oven for 50 minutes or until the bread is browned and sounds hollow when tapping the underside. Let cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan, then unmould onto a wire rack and let cool.
