Mix the yeast and sugar with a spoonful of each of the white and wholemeal spelt flours and a little of the warm water and leave to ferment for 1-12 hours.
Add all the other ingredients and knead. Leave to rise for at least an hour.
Knead the seeds into it, then cut into pieces and roll out very flat, using semolina flour to stop it sticking. Dust baking trays with semolina flour and place the flattened dough onto it.
Leave to relax for around an hour, then stretch each piece by hand and place in the oven.
Bake at 160C for about 30 minutes until they are completely dry. Turn once during baking.
Keep in airtight container. They are good with hummus.
You can add chilli powder or garlic to the recipe for variations.

This is my own (tried and tested) adapted version of an Andrew Whitley recipe.
Our fig, spelt and pumpkin seed flour blend is made using sun-dried Calimyrna figs which are prized for their natural sweetness and flavour, grown near the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey. Harvested by hand....
Our everyday loaf full of body and texture. We eat it as toast with peanut butter and as sandwiches - ham, cheese, mustard and salad or roast chicken, stuffing and mayo our favourites! Never fails for a chewy, heavily grained, substantial wholemeal loaf.
Based on a Panasonic sd-zb2502 wholemeal loaf recipe. Makes a perfect, delicious loaf with or without seeds. This loaf has a slight nutty taste from the rye flour and makes the loaf slightly more substantial than a standard wholemeal loaf with without the real heaviness of a rye loaf
A really flavoursome, nutty, savoury and crusty wholemeal loaf. Perfect to eat with Summer salads, to accompany a cheese board or to have wirh a bowl of soup
Tasty and springy textured loaf. It's taken some experimentation to get a spelt and rye recipe to work in my Panasonic SD254, which doesn't cater for these flours. But the following recipe produces great loaves baked on the wholemeal rapid setting. I weigh the water for more accurate results: 1gm= 1ml
