Super Simple Spelt Bread- Veggie and Vegan Friendly

Good Morning Lovelies,

I love Spelt bread!! It is healthy, filling slices of deliciousness! I made one loaf to trial at a coffee morning and I have been inundated with orders since. So I have decided to share the recipe with all of you. :) The recipe isn't vegan but I have added in the alternatives for the lovely Vegans. I use all organic ingredients in my bread but you can use the ingredients that best suit your budget.

Ingredients: 
485g of Wholegrain Spelt Flour
30g of Sesame Seeds
30g of Poppy Seeds
30g of Sunflower Seeds
5g of Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses
505ml of Milk (Rice Milk or Water is the Vegan alternative)

Instructions: 

Heat your oven to 180 degrees
Grab all of your dry ingredients and mix them all together in a big bowl.
Pour in the Milk (or alternative) and stir until all the dry mix isn't dry anymore.
Spoon in the Molasses and stir through. Give it a good stir so you don't end up with molasses blobs in your bread.
Pour the mix into a silicone bread tin and put it in the oven.
After its been in the oven about 10mins get a knife and draw a line down the center of the bread.
Leave to bake for about 45mins.
Remove from tin immediately and leave to cool on a wire rack

Additional Notes 
I use a silicone mold because I like to take the bread out after 45 mins and turn it upside down in the tin to ensure the bottom is baked the same colour as the top.
Stick a knife into the middle of your loaf when you think it is baked. If it comes out clean your bread is done if not put it back in the oven for another 15 mins repeat until the knife comes out clean.
You can use any seed combinations you like for your bread. Be inventive - make sure you share your combinations :)
If you like a softer crust on your bread wait until the bread is cold and wrap it in cling film.
This bread is suitable for home freezing.

Happy Baking 

XOXO

Ch-ch-ch-changes!!

Hey Kittens!!

It's been quite a bit since I've written to you. I haven't abandoned you honestly. I've been super busy wooing companies in a bid to expand my blog, upping my culinary and crafting skills as well as taking part in an incredible makeup course. All of which I look forward to telling you all about.

First things first. I have a new do!
For the longest time I have been sporting a brown do with a blue fringe.

Alas brown hair does not make me happy. I went to a hairdresser last September in a bid to get a shorter edgier cut. Sadly the staff were exceptionally rude and left me with a cut so bad I don't even have pictures of the atrocity. As it does the hair eventually grew back but I was in no hurry to have it cut again. I had been scarred by my last trip to the coven and yet I hated what was on my head. It was too long, too boring, just not me. I could make all the effort I liked with my makeup and clothing but I still had this unruly brown mess on my head. 

I'm not gonna lie I kept this up until the beginning of this month. After a heart to heart with my lovely mommy about how miserable my hair was making me, she recommended that I have a chat with her hairdresser. Feeling brave I strolled around the corner from the coffee shop we were in and straight into the salon. I interviewed my poor stylist over and over until I was happy she would be able to give me hair I would be happy with. 

First I chose a vibrant and more importantly cruelty free colour- Fudge Paintbox in Rasperry Beret

Which after a little bleach and a lot of waiting looked like this:

Finally with a whole lot of snipping this was the fabulously vibrant result!! Hair that I adore and at no cost to any animals or my self worth!! The beauty of a great haircut. 

No more hair mares for me :) 

XOXO
