100% Wholegrain Spelt Loaf

I'm sooo glad to be able to say that I know how it feels like to be surrounded by the nutty fragrant smell of bread, which fills up the whole kitchen and brightens up the whole house.

Yes that's right, today was a great day. 

   
Never underestimate the toaster oven

   
Small but mighty! Spelt is an ancient grain that is highly nutritious and has countless of health benefits ! It has this really unique, subtle  nutty fragrance as well, which for really delicious baked goods and other products.

Here's a very brief informative read-up about baking with spelt
    
To make this small loaf,  I used the recipe which can be found here.
I added 1 tbsp of honey* (highly recommended!) and used half of the
required ingredients, and only baked the bread
for 30mins before flipping it over and baking it again for 5mins.


Tips and tricks for baking quick breads is really short and helpful, please read it!

*Any honey/sugar/sweetener should work. I used organic raw honey.
   
My whole family was so surprised that I was able to bake this! They loved the bread so much. Since it was made purely from nutritious all-natural ingredients, they decided it was safe to give some to the dog and the hamsters.

According to my Dad and Sister, the dog and hamsters were begging for more!
That made me so happy! You never know if you'll succeed until you try. I'm so glad I managed to push away my fears of failing and get on with baking this bread. So please, even if you've had worse/really bad past baking experiences like me, don't hesitate to try this! It's the simplest and best recipe for beginners!
   
my loaf looks like it has a cute little butt
