["Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95C) and then turn off.", "Oil or grease 3 loaf pans and set aside.", "In a bowl, stir 3/4 cup of warm water, 1/4 cup of honey and 2 packages of yeast to dissolve. Set aside.", "In a large bowl, mix together 2 2/3 cups of warm water, salt and oil. Optionally, add rosemary and/or oregano.", "Add the yeast mixture into the large bowl, along with half of the spelt flour (4.5 cups).", "Stir well to combine.", "Add remaining spelt flour (4.5 cups) and knead until well combined, 5-7 minutes. If your mixer has a dough-hook attachment, knead on low speed.", "Grease an ovenproof bowl and place dough in it. Let dough rise in oven for ~45-60 minutes. Punch dough down. Do not over-rise! Spelt flour dough does not benefit from rising \"until double in size\"". A rule of thumb is a rise of 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 times the original dough volume.""
