Spelt and hemp bread with 3seeds

I had this sentence in my head the rest of weekend and  on Monday all day, all I could hear in my head was : " I had the leek and potato soup and nice bread dipped in it, that was what I had last night for my dinner". That was said by Marilyn on the Sunday. I think I was imagining how she was dipping the bread into the hot soup, just came off the stove into the soup bowl. And it looked really delicious in my head. So, I baked a spelt and hemp bread, made some butternut squash and canellini bean soup with vegan pesto. Can you guess how I had my soup? Yes, I dipped them right in it! ☺Oh, I felt happy and satisfied, sounds a bit like drama queen, but that's how I feel when I have something in my head and can't get it out. But it's not cravings. I know too well what cravings feel like. Well, at least how I was feeling wasn't harmful to myself. ✿ Anyway, I had a bag of spelt flour and some hemp flour left in my cupboard, also, I had some dried yeast in my fridge. I usually make my spelt bread with half white strong flour, but this time I used all spelt and add some hemp flour, add some seeds(sesame, poppy seeds, and kia seeds). I proved it really slowly, oiled the top with extra virgin olive oil, cling filmed it. When done, I shaped it, placed on non-stick baking sheet with some flour. Again, topped with more E.V olive oil, proved it till ready. (it's dense bread, doesn't raise like a white bread.) Then baked at 220 degree for 30 mins or so, when tapped, hear hollow noise, that's ready.  Here's my spelt bread.

And this is sliced, ready for dipping!
And my soup!


I wasn't feeling board but I felt I needed some sweets, so while the bread was being proved, I baked "Anzac biscuits" with no sugar, golden syrup, no oats, and vegan. Instead I used gluten free muesli, coconut butter and honey. I baked them till brown. Now they are still in my kitchen, still crispy and ideal with my mug of tea! At moment, I'm into Tulsi Green tea. Taste far far different from Japanese ones. Oh, I do love my green teas♥ Ah! I just remembered, I got a Japanese sweets book, I might try to make some soon.....But first, I need to get myself a electric scale...............

By the way, this is the biscuits. look very similar to last ones I made. But this one's much better! It's crunchy and coconutty!!! loooooove them❀❀❀
