Spelt Soda Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Place the flours, salt and baking soda in a large mixing bowl and sift together thoroughly.

3. After thinning the 1 cup yogurt with the 1/2 cup of milk, make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yogurt mixture. Mix until the dough begins to hold together. The dough should be holding together but dry, not wet or sticky.

4. Form the mixture into a ball and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 5 times, just to make sure everything is incorporated. Form dough into a disc about 1 1/2 inches thick, and use a sharp knife to score the top with an ‘X’ shape. Place on a greased baking sheet.

5. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the heat down to 400 degrees F, and continue baking for 20 – 25 minutes, until the loaf is a deep golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing.
