Simple Spelt Bread Recipe

Spelt bread is having a recent mini-revival. Every recipe blog I read at the moment is packed full of delicious ways to eat this diet staple. I prefer mine toasted, topped with olive and avocado with a sprinkle of sea salt but that’s just my preference.

There are many ways to incorporate this healthy treat into your daily diet. Used as lunch time treat to dip in freshly made soup, cut into soldiers and dipped into boiled eggs or even toasted up with butter as a mid afternoon snack-the possibilities are endless. I’ve adapted this recipe from the Clean and Lean Diet book; this is the simplest recipe I’ve found so far. A healthy and nutritious super food which can be cooked up under an hour in a few simple steps. Let me know what you think!
