Spelt Bread

Nice, flavoursome bread baked last night and served at breakfast toasted with YR sauce and bacon...delish (love the website by the way)

This is phenomenal bread that I have started making as our staple loaf here in rural Norway. I've always been a tad nervous about what I perceived as the unpredictability of yeast, but this bread does what it's meant to every time - so cooperative! I throw in generous tablespoons of linseed, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, and the outcome is yummy, toasts brilliantly, makes us happy. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Simple, clear, user-friendly, reliable...and it's helped me overcome an irrational fear!

Amazing bread, so easy to make by hand. No need for bread making machines! Delicious. I'll be making this regularly and it's far cheaper than buying the loaves I normally buy from Waitrose!

Lovely bread, I also used 1 tsp salt and substituted the sugar for 2 tsp of manuka honey

I made this today and doubled the salt quantities as per the comments below. It was super easy to make and absolutely delicious - my family loved it! This will become my regular loaf for my wheat-intolerant family :)

An excellent recipe which I made by hand. I used a 7g packet of dried yeast and the resulting bread was delicious, close textured yet light

I said earlier the the Fastbake II was good for Spelt bread, but since then tried the Normal setting and the bread turned out even better.

I tried the above ingredients in my Russell Hobbs breadmaker and used the Fastbake II (1 hr 20 mins) setting and the bread turned out lovely.

Oh my, this is good bread! I forgot to put the sugar in (yeah, I know...) so kneaded in just over a teaspoon of honey, and also doubled the salt as I thought that half a teaspoon was definitely not enough. Prepped and kneaded in the Kitchenaid. Left the dough to rise for about 35 mins, shaped into 8 bread rolls, then left to rise again for about 15-20 mins, baked for just over 10 mins.

The dough itself is a lot easier to handle than wholemeal wheat dough, and the resulting bread is a lot lighter than regular 100% wholemeal wheat bread. It also has a lot more flavour. I also don't bloat to the size of a house after eating this, so success on all fronts!

Made this bread yesterday by hand with ingredients from a Health Food Shop, what a tasty recipe, & so easy to make! While kneading I also stretched it & it is very aerated. Will definitely make regularly
