Description

This is 100% Spelt bread. It rises nicely, and has a nice “nutty/grainy” flavor. Try it!

Ingredients

  • 12 cups Freshly Ground Spelt Flour, Or More
  • 4 teaspoons Salt
  • 4 teaspoons Yeast
  • ¼ teaspoons Vitamin C Powder (optional)
  • ⅔ cups Oil
  • ⅔ cups Honey
  • 4 cups Very Warm Water (about 110F)

Preparation

In a Bosch* mixer combine 6 cups of the flour, salt, yeast and vitamin C powder. Pulse to mix. Add oil, honey and warm water. Mix for one minute. Cover and let the mixture sponge until bubbly. (maybe 30-60 minutes). When bubbly, add additional flour (6-7 cups or more) and mix, until dough just begins to clean the sides of bowl. Mix for 5-6 minutes. Shape dough into loaves, buns, cinnamon rolls, pizza dough, etc. If making into loaves, divide dough into 4 equal sized pieces and place into greased bread pans. Let rise until doubled in size (about an hour). Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes.

* I don’t have a Bosch mixer {yet} so I halved the recipe and made it in my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook.

Other notes: I ground the spelt berries fresh in my Wonder Mill. If you do this, do not use the Vitamin C powder. This bread does not rise as high as wheat bread, but still rises pretty well. Mine took about an hour to rise once I had shaped the dough and put it in the pans.

I was trying to recreate a spelt bread sold by a bakery here in the northwest using this recipe. flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds were also added. Wasn’t the same, but better. The yeast I bought was from Trader Joe’s, and I get great results from it. Thank you for you contribution of this recipe.
