Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
1 cup honey
¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 whole eggs, beaten lightly
2½ cups spelt flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a loaf pan.
-
Heat the milk over low heat in a saucepan. Stir in honey until fully combined and remove from heat.
-
Add the softened butter and beaten eggs to the milk and honey mixture, mixing well.
-
Stir in the spelt flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean. If it browns too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
-
Cool before slicing.
