Traditional German Spelt - Dinkelbrot (freshly baked loaf)

This Dinkelbrot (pronounced dink-el-brote) is an authentic German spelt bread inspired by traditional recipes from Dresden. It is crafted using organic, regionally sourced spelt that is freshly milled specifically for these loaves. The foundation is built on a rye starter—featuring organic whole rye flour from Janie’s Mill—balanced with a touch of yeast for the perfect rise.

The secret to its signature texture lies in the addition of mashed potatoes, which ensures a remarkably moist crumb, while a hint of Michigan honey and subtle savory spices provide a complex, well-rounded flavor. Each loaf is finished with a generous coating of toasted sunflower seeds, offering a delightful crunch that contrasts with the tender interior.
