Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Whole grain spelt flour
• 1 cup Whole grain einkorn flour
• 0.5 cup Amaranth flour
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture and stir well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the whole grain spelt flour, whole grain einkorn flour, amaranth flour, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, and rolled oats.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough starts to form.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for another 20-30 minutes.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
