Ingredients

1 cup warm water
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 - 3 tsp honey

1 1/2 - 2 tsp salt
2 Tbps butter (soft) or oil
3 heaping cups splet flour

Spelt Bread - 1 loaf (9"x5")

Pour very warm water into large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top. Add honey and let "work" for 5 - 15 minutes. Mix in 1 cup flour, then salt, then another cup of flour, then butter or oil, then last cup of flour. Let rise in warm place until doubled. (A test of whether it has risen all it is going to: stick a finger into the dough deeply - if the indention remains, it is ready to knead). Knead, adding more flour as necessary. Place in greased pan and let rise to just over the top of pan. Bake 15 minutes at 400° (preheated), then 30 minutes at 350°. Cool on rack in pan for 15 - 30 minutes, then turn out on rack until cool. Glass pans produce more heat.
