Wholemeal Spelt Bread Machine Loaf
About this recipe:
Bread machines are easy and fun to use for making your own bread. Spelt wholemeal flour bakes into a substantial loaf although for a lighter loaf you could add some strong white flour to bake a Half and Half Spelt Loaf.
Equipment:
bread machine with large bread pan
Ingredients:
1 tsp Doves Farm Quick Yeast
500g Doves Farm Organic Wholemeal Spelt Flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
360ml water
Method:
- Put the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the machine manufacturer.
- Turn the machine to the whole wheat rapid bread setting.
- Select your preferred crust setting if available on the machine.
- Check the pan is locked into position and start the machine.
- Remove the bread pan from the machine as soon as it has finished baking.
- Tip the bread out of the pan and remove the mixer paddle from the bottom of the loaf.
- Cool the bread on a wire rack.

I just made this in my breadmaker (which i haven't used for a couple of years) and it was delicious! The rapid programme took just an hour and the bread was so good. It won't be long till I make another loaf, so simple. I only had supermarket sachets of yeast, so used a little more than in recipe. Very light and tasty!

Just took my first spelt loaf out of the pan. I did chicken out a bit and did 50/50 with wholemeal flour and it tastes great. The only downside was that when I looked through the glass 10 minutes before cooking it appeared to have proved nicely and looked like it was going to make a perfect loaf and then 30 minutes later when I checked the top had sunk in. Will be looking to buy some more spelt flour soon so I can try again and work out what I did wrong.

First time using wholemeal Spelt flour. My bread maker's a Panasonic but getting old now, so a wholemeal fast bake is three hours. I intended to use a bit of improver in the mix, but I was in a rush and forgot! However, despite the loaf not rising quite as high as some, it's still delicious and has a lovely texture. I'm definitely a convert to Spelt!

Love this loaf! I am able to eat spelt flour but not other bread with gluten in (mainly I think because the spelt form is older / less modified and easier to digest) so this loaf is a fantastic one to make. What's even better is that everyone in the family loves it. I add a little extra yeast which seems to lighten it up just a bit. Great recipe and great Dove's Farm spelt flour - lovely bread! Making more of it at the moment as not going out to shops due to current covid 19 situation. Glad I had some in the cupboard as everywhere has sold out. We are becoming a nation of breadmakers :-)

My machine doesn't have a fast wholemeal function, but it worked on the normal white setting, It didn't rise as high as conventional wholemeal loaf.

Just a tip on this recipe add 1 tsp of Doves farm bread improver to this to make it rise more and a bit lighter

Just made this in my new breadmaker and it is simply perfect! Lovely texture, delicious flavour, and very quick to make - 55 minutes on the fastbake setting. This will probably be my usual daily bread. Scrumptious.
