Rye & Spelt Grain Bread (Getreidebrot)

Ingredients:
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
sugars, brown
water, bottled, generic
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
molasses
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
rice flour, white, unenriched
oat bran, raw
salt, table
seeds, flaxseed
oats

Directions:
Mix the sugar & dried yeast together in a large bowl.
Add the tepid water & let brew for 15 minutes.
Mix the milk & molasses together.
Heat a small frying pan on medium & gently heat the linseeds & oatmeal.
Take off the heat once warmed through.
Add the milk & molasses to the yeast mixture & stir gently.
Put the flours in a bowl, along with the oatbran & salt.
Add the milk & yeast mixture, and stir.
The resulting mixture will be sticky.
Turn out onto a lightly floured bench & knead.
You may need to add a little bit more rye flour, but don't add too much as the bread will be too dry.
The dough will still feel a bit tacky.
Knead for 5 minutes.
Gradually add the linseed & oatmeal mixture, kneading all the time.
Total kneading time is about 10 minutes.
Cover the dough & let prove for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Pre heat the oven to 190 degrees Celscius.
I also put my pizza stone in then as well.
Knock down gently & shape into two loaves.
Put each loaf on a sheet of baking paper, cover & let prove until doubled, about 1 hour.
Spelt tends to rise quickly.
Gently move the loaves onto the pizza stone & cook for about 40 minutes, or until the loaf sounds kind of hollow when tapped.
You may have to cook them one at a time, it depends how big your loaves turn out.
The bread will be dense and quite chewy, and is great served with cream cheese, cottage cheese or just toasted.
