FAST BREAD recipe by Nadia (link to downloadable version) 

5 cups organic whole grain spelt flour 

1 tablespoon Xantham Gum 

2/3 tablespoon Salt 

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Mix all those dry ingredients together then add:

2-3 tablespoons of olive oil 

1-2 handful of oats 

2 tablespoons honey 

3 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional) 

4 tablespoons sunflower kernels (optional)

Mix well and then add:

2.5 cups of tap water

Mix dough thoroughly with the back of a wooden spatula (works best) 

Fill in a baking pan lined with baking paper 

Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes

 Let cool on cooling rack

Notes: 

-Any flour will do, nutritionally whole grain is best. 

-Spelt is an ancient grain and not hybridized, it is better tolerated than wheat flour, BUT NOT GLUTEN FREE 

-Xantham Gum is only necessary if ‘non-wheat’ flour is used to prevent the bread from falling apart while cutting. 

-Switch out ingredients: You may add raisins, chopped apricots and other dried fruits. Chopped nuts of any kind make for a fun delicious bread as well. 

-To make breadsticks or any other creations by kid’s hands, use less water to have dough that you can manipulate with your hands without sticking. Start with about 13⁄4 cups of water and add more if needed.
