SPELT BREAD



Spelt Bread image

This is my Grandad's recipe for bread, normally it calls for half white flour and half whole wheat flour, but as my son has a wheat allergy, I substituted both flours for Spelt flour. Spelt flour is an ancient grain and can be used in place of white flour. It can be found in most Health food stores. Enjoy! Editor's Note: Spelt is an ancient wheat that has recently been marketed as safe for wheat-allergic individuals. Wheat-allergic patients can react to spelt as they do to common wheat. Please consult with your health care provider to ensure spelt is appropriate for you.

PERFECT BREAD MACHINE SPELT BREAD



Perfect Bread Machine Spelt Bread image

My husband's quest to find a recipe which produces light, fluffy (rather than solid and dense) spelt bread from a bread machine has finally paid off. He did lots of experimenting, and this one has produced consistently good results. Update: can't see how to respond to the review which found the bread heavy, so responding here. If you definitely used WHITE spelt flour, not wholewheat, then it sounds as though perhaps different bread machines get different results? :-( However, there is one other possibility. Did you use fast action dried yeast, suitable for breadmakers? Or Dried active yeast which is for hand baking? We were using the former. The other thing my husband suggested trying, if you're using the correct flour and yeast, is to try upping the amount of yeast you're using, and see if that helps. You could also try upping the amount of water slightly, but try each solution separately first :-) My husband's number one rule, stemming from his scientific background :-) Hope one of these tips work, and not that it is the bread machine themselves (ours is a Panasonic SD255)

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 4h5m

Yield 1 loaf of c12 slices, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white spelt flour
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
2 1/2 teaspoons fast-rising active dry yeast (6g)
1 1/2 cups tepid water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Add water to bread machine, then oil, then flour, then salt, then sugar, then yeast.
  • Set on "Normal" setting (which is 4 hours), with small loaf and light crust settings.
  • NB: If you use wholegrain spelt rather than wholemeal, then reduce the yeast to 1.5 slightly rounded teaspoons (about 3.5g).

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour. Spelt flour is a great choice for bread baking because it is high in protein and fiber. It also has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with other ingredients.
  • Proof the yeast. This is an important step that helps to ensure that your bread will rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise. After kneading, let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will help to give your bread a light and airy texture.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Spelt bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. Spelt bread is also a good choice for people who are gluten-sensitive or who have celiac disease. With its slightly nutty flavor and firm texture, spelt bread is a versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even as a side dish.
