Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water lukewarm
- 1 Tablespoon active yeast
- 3 Tablespoons honey or molasses
- 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 3 Tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup spelt flour freshly ground
- 1 cup unbleached white flour plus more as needed
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water and stir to dissolve. Stir in sweetener.
- Stir in applesauce and spelt flour and beat well to form a thick batter. Cover bowl and allow batter to rise for 45 minutes.
- Sprinkle salt and oil over batter and gently fold in, being careful not to cut through the dough.
- Fold in oatmeal and additional unbleached flour (about 1 cup, or more as needed) until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
- Keeping dough slightly sticky, knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Place dough in a large greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled in size, about 50 minutes.
- Punch dough down and let rise until doubled again, about 40 minutes more.
- Shape loaf and place in greased pan. Let rise 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sprinkle loaf lightly with rolled oats, if desired, and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped lightly. Remove from pans right away and cool on wire rack.
