Quick Wild Garlic Loaf

This aromatic bread gets its distinctive flavour from the addition of finely chopped wild garlic, which not only adds a fantastic, mild, and sweet garlicky flavour to the loaf, but it is also a nutrient-dense "superfood" with numerous health benefits. With spelt flour, milk and Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out wonderfully hearty and moist. Best of all: it requires no yeast at all and can be mixed together with baking powder in just a few minutes. Whether for breakfast, as a side dish for a barbecue, or simply spread with butter – this quick bread is a real treat for all wild garlic fans!
