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 Healthy Eating Can Be An Easy Option.

The benefits of healthy eating are now being given more publicity than ever before and there are a number of reasons for this. Poor diet is a leading factor in health problems such as heart disease and hypertension which can put a drain on the economy. While we’re constantly being encouraged to follow healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to rely on fast food and other convenience items that are not beneficial for us. People typically think that healthy diets demand a great deal of work and will significantly change how they live and eat. Contrary to that information, individuals can alter their eating habits for the better by implementing a couple of simple changes.

These types of changes can be done with all sorts of foods and can apply to the oils you cook in and the spread you put on bread. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat which can help to lower bad cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin E which has numerous benefits and is also great for your skin. It could be that you already feel that you consume fruit and vegetables but it can be worthwhile considering how fresh these are depending on where you get these. If you go for organic foods, you can avoid the problem of ingesting crops that may have been sprayed with deadly pesticides. If you can find a good local supplier of fresh fruit and vegetables, you can also consume foods that have not lost their nutrients due to storage or not being harvested at the right time.

Hence, it should be somewhat obvious that it’s not difficult to add healthy eating to your everyday life.

  11. Get 10 g honey or molasses
  12. You need Optional:
  13. Provide 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  14. Get 50 g sunflower seeds
  15. Provide 1 medium sized Dutch oven pot with lid (Staub, Le creuset, etc)
Instructions 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.
