whole spelt challah

This is the best, softest whole spelt challah recipe. I love it.
1. Dissolve 4 T of yeast in 2 C of warm water with a bit of honey
2. Let that dissolve and set aside
3. 2 C warm water mixed with 3/4 honey, 1/2 oil, 6 eggs, 2 T salt, 1 C flax meal (optional)
4. Mix together with yeast mixture and then add 5 LB of whole spelt flour
5. Knead really well and let rise one hour
6. Shape and let rise 1/2 hour and bake 25-30 minutes (depending on your oven)
I like to sprinkle cinnamon on top before I cook them.

When using honey, try and get raw, unfiltered honey. And if you can find any with the comb inside the jar that's even better. There are some great health benefits from natural honey and the comb!
Enjoy. If anyone tries this recipe, please tell me how it comes out!
Have a great shabbos everyone!
