Wholemeal Spelt Cinnamon Toast Bread (bread machine)

This wholemeal spelt cinnamon toast bread is one of my favourite breakfasts. Nobody else in my house likes it, so when I whip up a loaf in my bread machine, I take a couple of slices and freeze the rest. I really like toast but don’t like store bought bread, so this gives me a quick, easy breakfast that is better for me.

The bread is dense and fairly heavy. This is due to the wholemeal spelt flour used in the recipe. If you prefer a lighter crumb, use white spelt flour if you prefer. I like the denseness of this spelt cinnamon toast bread as it holds up well as toast; I’ve noticed that white spelt bread is a little more fragile when toasted.

The bread is heavy on the cinnamon (if using too much cinnamon is ever a possibility) and instead of the usual raisins, I opted for sultanas. I think they do a better job of moistening up the bread a little but you can use raisins if you prefer.

Notes

The instructions above are for a bread machine. Results can't be guaranteed if you make it by hand.

1. You can use white spelt or substitute the spelt for regular flour.
2.  I use grams in my recipes as weighing ingredients is the most accurate method. However, if cups are your thing, you can convert my measurements at Cook it Simply.
