spelt website

Submitted by id8trak on Sat, 04/22/2006 - 3:05pm.

Hi Zillah,
I actually found a website that sells spelt and spelt flour. It has some great tips on baking with spelt. I've tried it and love the spelt bread! (For those who aren't intolerant, like me) I sometimes enjoy mixing half spelt flour with half white flour. The bread is spongy and moist. (I admit I could eat almost the entire loaf myselft.) The site is www.histakes-spelt.com
Good luck.

And here is the recipe I use: (I'll add it under recipes later)
combine in mixer:
2 1/2 c. water
1/8 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
mix well
add
3 c. spelt flour
1 tablespoon yeast
while mixing add 3-4 c. more spelt flour within 3 1/2 minutes to optimize gluten
Knead for total of 10 minutes (in machine and/or by hand)
Grease bowl & top of dough. cover. let dough rise until double. Punch down and let rise until double again. Shape into loaves. Place into greased loaf pans. Let rise in pans until desired size. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes. Makes 2-3 loaves.
