Before you jump to Sourdough rye bread with spelt and wheat (Dutch oven ver.) recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Make Healthy Eating A Part of Your Daily Life.

The benefits of healthy eating are now being given more attention than ever before and there are many reasons for this. Poor diet is a leading factor in illnesses such as heart disease and high blood pressure which can put a drain on the economy. While we’re always being counseled to stick with healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to rely on fast food and other convenience items that are not good for us. It is likely that a lot of people feel it will take lots of effort to eat a healthy diet or that they have to make a large scale change to their way of life. Contrary to that information, people can alter their eating habits for the better by making a couple of modest changes.

The first change you need to make is to pay more attention to what you purchase when you do your food shopping because it is likely that you have the tendency to pick up many of the things without thinking. For example, if you eat cereal for your breakfast, do you ever look to see what the sugar and salt content is before purchasing? A superb healthy option can be porridge oats which have been shown to be good for your heart and can give you good sustainable energy daily. Mix in fruits or spices to improve how the oatmeal tastes and now you have a breakfast that can be a usual part of your new healthy diet.

Thus, it should be fairly obvious that it’s not at all hard to add healthy eating to your life.

The ingredients needed to cook Sourdough rye bread with spelt and wheat (Dutch oven ver.):
  1. Use Rye Sourdough Pre-dough:
  2. Prepare 15 g rye sourdough starter
  3. Take 75 g rye flour
  4. Prepare 75 g warm water
  5. Take Main Dough:
  6. Take 150 g rye flour
  7. Provide 100 g bread flour (wheat)
  8. Take 50 g spelt flour (or use more bread flour)
  9. Take 7.5 g salt
  10. Use 180 g warm water (40-50°C/105-122°F)
  11. Use 10 g honey or molasses
  12. Prepare Optional:
  13. Take 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  14. Take 50 g sunflower seeds
  15. Prepare 1 medium sized Dutch oven pot with lid (Staub, Le creuset, etc)
Steps to make Sourdough rye bread with spelt and wheat (Dutch oven ver.):
  1. Mix the ingredients for the sourdough pre-dough in a medium bowl. Cover and let the sourdough pre-dough set at room temperature for 20-22 hours. (alternatively use 160 g of active rye sourdough starter - 100% hydration).
  2. Mix the the flours, salt (and caraway/sunflower seeds) in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the rye sourdough pre-dough with warm water and honey/molasses.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients with the sourdough mixture until all ingredients are very well mixed, 5-10 minutes. You can use your hands or a wooden spoon, etc. The dough is sticky and like a paste, so you don't need to knead it like you would other breads.
  5. After mixing :)
  6. You can keep the dough in the same bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and let proof for 60-90 minutes at 24-25°C (75-77°F). If it's quite cold, then it will take around 3 hours.
  7. Remove from bowl and place into a floured working space. Form into a round boule shape by folding over the edges of the dough into the center.
  8. Dust the shaped dough with rye flour and place fold-side down into a flour dusted proofing basket (banneton). Let rise again for about 2 hours.
  9. After rising, it will be significantly larger (about 1.5 times bigger)
  10. When nearing baking time, preheat oven to 250°C/480°F. Put a Dutch oven/Le creuset or other cast iron enameled pot into the oven while preheating.
  11. When the dough is ready to go and your oven is preheated, remove the pot from the oven, then carefully remove the dough from the banneton and place it into the hot pot so that the round side is now facing up.
  12. Bake for about 30-45 minutes (my oven is pretty weak so it takes 45 minutes. For the last 10-15 minutes, remove the lid of the pot so the crust can get a nice color.
  13. Let cool for a few hours or up to half a day until slicing. this will let the flavors of the bread develop further.
  14. It doesn't look much different, but here's the version I made with a nice schwarzbier/stout beer. It smells amazing, quite different the non-beer version.
