Cinnamon Swirl Spelt Bread
- Bread:
- 1 and 1/4 cup warm water ( 310 ml / 10 1/2 oz )
- 1 envelope of yeast (2 + 1/4 tsp)
- 2 cups wholemeal flour (273g / 9 3/5 oz)
- 2 cups wholemeal spelt flour (273g / 9 3/5 oz)
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp Natvia
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a little water)
- Filling:
- 1/4 cup ( 42g /1 1/2 oz) Natvia
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup dried white mulberries (37.5g / 1 1/5 oz)
- 1/4 cup sultanas (45g / 1 1/2 oz)
- In a small bowl, stir together water and yeast. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, whisk together flours, salt and Natvia.
- When yeast has activated, pour into flour mixture. Add coconut oil and egg.
- Fit a dough hook to your standing mixer. Allow dough to knead on medium speed for around 10 minutes, or until the dough comes together and is slightly tacky (but not sticky)!
- Grease a large bowl with coconut oil and place dough inside. Rub the top of dough with a little more coconut oil, then cover with plastic wrap.
- Place bowl in a warm place (I left my dough in the microwave) and let it rise for 1.5-2 hours, or until dough has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, grease a 9x5" loaf pan with coconut oil and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and Natvia.
- When the dough has risen, dump onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to a long rectangle (around 10" x 20").
- Smear surface of dough with apple sauce, then sprinkle over cinnamon mixture and dried fruit.
- At one of the shorter ends, start rolling the dough as tight as possible. Pinch the seam shut with your fingers. Place dough seam side downs into prepared loaf pan.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside to rise again for 45 mins to an hour, or until the dough has risen above the edges of your pan.
- While you're waiting for the dough to rise, preheat your oven to 175u0b0C / 347u0b0F. When dough is ready, take egg wash and brush over the top of bread - be very gentle so you don't deflate your beautiful bread!
- Bake bread for about 40 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. If the bread is browning too quickly, cover with a sheet of aluminium foil - I usually do this for the last 10 minutes.
- Allow bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing, or for at least 30 minutes if you can't resist ;)
