Rye & Spelt Grain Bread (Getreidebrot) is a traditional German bread that is popular among health-conscious eaters. The combination of rye and spelt flour gives the bread a rich, nutty flavor and a dense, chewy texture. This bread is a great alternative to white bread, as it is higher in fiber and more nutrient-dense. It can be served with a variety of toppings, such as cheese, spreads, or sliced meats. This recipe yields one loaf of bread that can be sliced and stored in the freezer for later use.

Instructions

1.In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in 1/2 cup of tepid water.
2.Stir in the milk, molasses, rye flour, spelt flour, brown rice flour, oat bran, and salt until evenly combined.
3.Stir in the linseeds and oatmeal.
4.Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
5.Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
6.Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a loaf pan.
7.Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared pan and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until the dough rises slightly above the rim of the pan.
8.Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Rye and spelt grains are both nutrient-dense and have many health benefits.
They are high in fiber, which promotes digestive health, reduces cholesterol levels, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Rye flour also contains lignans, which have been linked to reducing the risk of breast cancer and heart disease.
Spelt contains more protein and amino acids than wheat, and it is easier to digest due to its lower gluten content. It also contains more vitamins and minerals than wheat, including vitamin B2, niacin, and magnesium.
