I based this spelt and oat bread on my seeded bread. It only contains four ingredients: Rolled oats, wholegrain spelt flour, salt and sourdough starter (and water, of course). The wholegrain bread is fluffy and moist without yeast. Thanks to the wholegrain flour and rolled oats, the sourdough bread contains lots of nutrients and keeps you full for a long time. You can either leave the spelt oat bread to rest overnight in the fridge or put it in the oven on the same day.

You’ll need these ingredients
- Oatmeal
- Wholegrain spelt flour: I prefer to grind wholegrain flours myself. I switch the milling grade of my grain mill* to the finest setting. This gives you all the advantages of whole grain (in terms of health and taste) and yet the consistency is just as fine as with white flour. If you don’t have a grain mill, you can of course also use store-bought wholegrain flour. However, you may then have to reduce the amount of water a little.
- Sourdough starter: The sourdough doesn’t have to be freshly fed, but it shouldn’t have been more than a week since it was last refreshed. If you have discard left over, I have the right recipes for you here. I feed my sourdough with equal parts water and flour. For the flour, I use a mixture of wheat flour and wholegrain rye flour. If you feed your sourdough with a different water-to-flour ratio, you will need to adjust the amount of water in the recipe accordingly.
- Salt for flavor.
