100 Spelt Bread Bread Machine 2lb Loaf Recipes

SOFTEST EVER BREAD MACHINE 100% SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Place the water, sugar and yeast in the loaf pan of the bread machine.
• Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes.
• Add the oil, flour and salt to the loaf pan.
• Select the Rapid Bake, Light Crust setting, and press Start.
• Help unstuck any flour from the sides during the first mix cycle. Add additional flour or liquid, if needed. I didn't need to.
• My bread machine has a 7 minute power failure backup feature. I unplug the bread machine during the last rise cycle for 5 minutes. This gives a lighter loaf when finished.
• When baked, the internal temperature should be between 190°F and 200°F.
• When finished baking, let cool 1 hour on a rack before storing in a plastic bag (I use a zip-lock). The loaf can be sliced and frozen, if desired.

PERFECT BREAD MACHINE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Add water to bread machine, then oil, then flour, then salt, then sugar, then yeast.
• Set on "Normal" setting (which is 4 hours), with small loaf and light crust settings.
• NB: If you use wholegrain spelt rather than wholemeal, then reduce the yeast to 1.5 slightly rounded teaspoons (about 3.5g).

HONEY SPELT BREAD MACHINE BREAD

Steps:

• Put the ingredients into your machine in the listed order.
• Choose setting on bread machine: light crust, 1.5 pound loaf, either the rapid wheat or whole wheat settings work just fine, depending on how much time you have. After the flour has been added, make a depression in the flour to hold the yeast until mixing begins.

BASIC SPELT BREAD FOR OVEN OR BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• OVEN INSTRUCTIONS: Dissolve yeast in honey with vegetable oil and water.
• Add salt and 1 1/2 cups of spelt flour. Beat well for 3-4 minutes.
• Cover with damp cloth and let rest in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Add remaining flour, turning onto floured board and knead until smooth, adding flour if necessary.
• OPTIONAL: Add desired additional ingredients to taste. This is where I tend to add small amounts of herbs (such as basil and/or rosemary), chia seeds (usually ground), and/or grated parmesan/asiago cheese.
• Place in oiled loaf pan and cover with damp cloth. Let rise in warm place until double in size (approximately 30 minutes).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
• BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS: Add ingredients to machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Bake on shortest cycle (NOT quick bread cycle).
• If loaf falls and craters during baking cylce, decrease water slightly next time.
