An easy and simply delicious bread made with Spelt, an ancient grains flour. Spelt bread has a sweet and nutty taste. It is soft and tender, and makes a delicious sandwich or avocado toast!
Put one cup of water in a large bowl and heat it in the microwave until warm. Add honey and stir until combined. Stir in butter and salt and when combined, stir in the flour and the yeast. Stir briskly with a wooden spoon. Add more flour until the dough comes together. It is a sticky dough, but you will want to be able to handle it. Turn it out on a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic.
Put the dough in a well oiled bowl, turning once to coat both sides. Cover and allow the dough to raise in a warm area for 2 hours.
Shape the dough and put in a well greased 8 x 4 loaf pan. Cover and allow to raise for 1 hour.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 25 to 35 minutes.
Remove the bread from the bread pan and allow it to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes
It's also important not to over-knead this dough. It can be a very loose and sticky dough.
