100% SPELT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
From the UK website www.sharphampark.com converted to Imperial measures and slightly modified. Adjust the yield below to match your bread machine capacity. Personally, I make a 1 lb loaf in a Black & Decker bread machine designed for a 1-1/2 lb loaf. For a slightly different loaf, use 3 1/2 cups spelt flour and 1/2 cup quinoa flour. Note: The rapid bake cycle on my bread machine is approx. 2 hours long. I have noticed that some bread machines have a super rapid cycle of approx. 1 hour. I doubt this recipe would work on a super rapid cycle. (Note on nutrition values: the nutrition values for the spelt flour and almond milk are not included in the nutrition table. It appears Food.com does not have spelt flour and almond milk in their database.)

Steps:
- Place the water, sugar and yeast in the loaf pan of the bread machine.
- Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes.
- Add the oil, flour and salt to the loaf pan.
- Select the Rapid Bake, Light Crust setting, and press Start.
- Help unstuck any flour from the sides during the first mix cycle. Add additional flour or liquid, if needed. I didn't need to.
- My bread machine has a 7 minute power failure backup feature. I unplug the bread machine during the last rise cycle for 5 minutes. This gives a lighter loaf when finished.
- When baked, the internal temperature should be between 190°F and 200°F.
- When finished baking, let cool 1 hour on a rack before storing in a plastic bag (I use a zip-lock). The loaf can be sliced and frozen, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Freshly milled spelt flour and organic ingredients will produce the best-tasting bread.
- Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneaded dough will be tough and dense. Knead the dough just until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm environment will help the dough to rise properly. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on or in a sunny spot.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it has a golden brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped.

With its nutty flavor and soft texture, spelt bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional wheat bread.
