Spelt Bread

 




I tried a spelt bread recipe from Bobs Red Mill.  It turned out ok but I will try different recipes.  I felt the dough should be looser and easier to work with.  It is a very dense bread I know and we love the taste.

3/4c plus 2 tbs warm water (110F)
2 1/2 tbs honey or maple syrup
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (7g packet)
2 tbs butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 3/4 c spelt flour

pre heat oven 350F

Mix warm water, honey and yeast  and wait 5-7 minutes until it is foamy.  Add butter, flour and salt. Knead 7-10 minutes.  Place in an oiled bowl covered for an hour to rise.  Punch it down, cover and let it rise another 30 min.  In a lightly oiled 8" x 4" baking pan shape the dough into a loaf, cover and let it rise 30 min.  Bake 45 min until golden brown or internal temperature (180-200F).  Cool on a wire rack.

Oh, maybe the bread will get better. I always have a lot of room to grow when it comes to baking bread. Yet, its one thing I've had to give up so I don't eat much of it, anymore..since it's more than gluten that I have to worry about.

I love spelt bread. The taste is fantastic, isn't it? I've read spelt is harder to work with compared to normal flour. Happy new week!

I could try to do that.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Bread sure is a huge thing here as Ingo always takes it to work for brekkie and lunch and he now tries out new ones (from the store).
Please let me know when you find the "perfect" one!

I have to admit that I don't care for dense bread. Let us know if you find another recipe that works better, Christine.
Blessings!

The flour seems to be missing in the recipe you publish. Is it altight if I use 2 3/4 cups Organic Spelt Flour?

A lot of work but if it tastes good, why not?

Christine, I love that you experiment in the Kitchen. You come up with some great recipes.

I haven't made homemade yeast bread in years. I think the last time I used yeast, was Hot Cross Buns several Easter's ago. Yeast bread smells SO GOOD.
