SPELT FLOUR BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH



Spelt Flour Bread Machine Challah image

I got a challah recipe from my husband and tweaked it to use spelt flour. This recipe makes a beautiful 2-pound braided challah. I like to divide the dough in 3; make two loaves and one little roll. I like to try different toppings each time I make this recipe, such as sesame seeds, dried onion flakes, granulated garlic, kosher salt, or flax seeds.

Time 2h20m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm water
¼ cup olive oil
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅓ cup white sugar
2 cups white spelt flour
2 cups whole grain spelt flour
4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 (.25 ounce) envelope dry yeast
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Pour the water, olive oil, and eggs into a bread machine pan. Add salt, sugar, spelt flours, xanthan gum, and yeast. Place into bread machine and set to dough cycle. Check on the dough as it is mixing to ensure that it mixes well. Use a rubber scraper to scrape down the sides of the pan if needed.
  • When the dough has finished, remove and divide into 3 pieces. Shape each piece into an 18 inch long rope. Braid the three ropes together, seal the tips together, and fold under the loaf. Place the braided loaf onto a greased baking sheet, cover with a soft cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the loaf with beaten egg, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the challah has turned golden brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 40 to 45 minutes.

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)

SWEET BREAD MACHINE SPELT CHALLAH

Spelt is a wonderful alternative to wheat, particularly for those who are wheat intollerant. I developed this recipe awhile back, adapting it until I was satisfied with the end result. It's a sweet, chewy bread that is delicious straight out of the oven, but still good the next day. It isn't as light or as fluffy as wheat, but it has a great taste that I think you will enjoy. If you find that there is too much sugar in this recipe, feel free to decrease the amount you use or substitute it with honey, brown sugar, agave nectar - or whatever agrees with your taste buds and dietary restrictions.

Time 1h

Yield 1-2 challas

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup water
2 eggs (check for blood)
1/3 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
ground flax seeds, to taste (optional)
3 2/3 cups spelt flour
4 teaspoons instant yeast
raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Put in the ingredients into your breadmachine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Select 'dough cycle'.
  • In my bread machine, I am able to add in raisins after the first mixing - it beeps. Check your machine for directions on adding ingredients in after starting the dough cycle.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • When taking out dough, if too sticky, roll in flour to ease shaping.
  • Braid loaves and place in oiled baking pan (I recommend 8x4 non-stick).
  • Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes. Can skip this step if in a rush.
  • Coat top with egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if desired.
  • Approximate bake time: One challah -. 45 minutes. Two challahs -35 minutes. Three challahs - 25 minutes.
