This is not sweet since it has no sugar in it. It's delicious warm with some Vegan Earth Balance on it or even some honey would be nice. I didn't put the cooking time in the details but will elaborate in the directions.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3 cups whole spelt flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking chocolate, semi-sweet
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 9 tablespoons coconut
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, roasted
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons teff seeds
  • 3 tablespoons amaranth
  • 3 tablespoons millet
  • 3 tablespoons quinoa, cleaned

How To Make multi-grain spelt bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat your oven to 350'F. Spread the Sunflower seeds on a baking sheet and toast for 5-8 minutes.
  • Step 2
    While the seeds are toasting, bring two cups of water to a boil and add the teff, amaranth, millet and quinoa grains along with 1/4 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Watch this, it can cook faster, so check it now and again. The water should be absorbed when it's finished cooking. It will stick so be careful.
  • Step 3
    When done, set the cooked grains aside in a bowl to cool.
  • Step 4
    In another large bowl, mix together the flour, toasted sunflower seeds, baking soda, baking powder and remaining salt.
  • Step 5
    Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water, oil and vinegar to the cooked grains and mix well.
  • Step 6
    Fold the grains into this mixture to form a thick batter. I noticed the batter started to bubble a little with the leavening and the vinegar coming into contact.
  • Step 7
    Be gentle with this, don't over mix it will just make it tough.
  • Step 8
    Pour the batter into your 8x4 loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Step 9
    Bake 50-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean when poked in the middle.
  • Step 10
    Cool for a good 30-40 minutes before slicing. Due to the amount of grain it will crumble if you cut it when its warm.
  • Step 11
    Enjoy!
