Calories : 183kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups (220 g) whole grain spelt flour, or whole wheat flour, whole grain rye flour, or a mixture all three
- 1 cup (130 g) spelt flour, or all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup (170 g) dried fruits & nut mix, trail mix or mix of choice, see notes
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cup (360 g) sparkling water, or tap water
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, dried fruit, and nuts using a spoon or rubber spatula.
- Pour in apple cider vinegar and sparkling water and stir until just combined (you don't have to knead this bread).
- Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) loaf pan with one tablespoon of oil and pour in the wet bread dough. Sprinkle with rolled oats (optional).
- Bake for 50 minutes until golden brown. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Dried Fruit & Nuts: Mix and match whatever dried fruits and nuts you like or have at hand. I love a mixture of almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, mangos, and physalis. Dried figs and walnuts are delicious too. Feel free to use a premade trail mix.
- Sparkling Water: Helps to activate the baking powder and makes the bread fluffier! Don't worry if you only have tap water, it works too.
- Flour: This bread recipe is highly adjustable. Feel free to use whole-grain rye or wheat flour instead of spelt flour.
- Keeps fresh for 2 days if packed in a tea towel.
- Freeze the bread in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can also slice it before freezing, making it easy to thaw individual slices in the toaster.
