Spelt and Buckwheat Loaf

Bread loaf made with 500 grams of flour: 400 grams of spelt, and 100 grams of buckwheat. The flour was mixed in a glass bowl, together wth 7 grams of Allinsons' yeast, two teaspoonfuls of table sugar, two teaspoonfuls of table salt. 

350 mls of warm water was folded into the roughly mixed flour over three or four minutes. Two dessert spoonfuls of olive oil were then folded in to the dough, The dough was mixed with an electric hand mixer for five minutes, gradually increasing the speed of the blades.  

The dough was allowed to stand for an hour in the glass bowl, which was long enough for it to double in size. It was beaten down, and allowed to stand for another thirty minutes. Then the dough was poured into a silicon bread tin. 

The top of the loaf was given a little texture with a fork, and poppy seeds were sprinkled on to the surface. When the oven was at the correct temperature the loaf was placed in a metal roasting tin to keep the silicon bread tin flat. Into the oven!
Baked for 40 to 45 minutes.
