Spelt soda bread is an Irish bread that is similar to the more traditional soda bread, but made using spelt flour which has a nutty flavor. This recipe also calls for the use of soymilk, which is a healthier alternative to regular milk that's becoming increasingly popular. Spelt soda bread is best eaten fresh from the oven, served with butter, cheese or honey, making it a perfect snack for any time of day. It's also a great option for those looking to eat a healthier bread that doesn't require much effort to make.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2.	Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and bicarbonate of soda together in a large bowl.
3.	Add the milk or soymilk, mixing until a dough forms and knead gently.
4.	Shape the dough into a circle and cut an ‘X’ in the center with a knife.
5.	Place the dough on a baking tray, dust with flour and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.

PROS

Bread recipes using milk or soy milk may not last as long as traditional bread as the fats in the milk can cause the bread to spoil faster.
