Basic Spelt Bread For Oven Or Bread Machine Recipes

SPELT BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• This is a recipe for a two-pound machine. Note that you'll be using the whole wheat setting.
• Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first.
• Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. It should be a smooth, round ball.
• If the dough is too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks good.

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.

SPELT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in order recommended by manufacturer.
• I used the cycle for white bread,Quick or Rapid,& light crust. My bread Machine is a Breadman, so I used Rapid cycle (time 2 hours).
• Note: I did have to add a little more milk when it was mixing.

BREAD MACHINE WHOLE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Insert all items into bread machine starting with the first listed ingredient and ending with the yeast or seeds/nuts. Keep the extra spelt for kneading it into the loaf shape of your choice.
• Set machine to dough cycle (1.5 hours for me).
• When it finishes, powder your hands with the extra spelt flour and grab the dough.
• Shape it into a loaf shape, using extra spelt as necessary to shape.
• Place in a greased loaf pan.
• Turn your oven to the lowest temperature for two minutes. Then shut it off and place your loaf in there.
• Let rise for about 35 minutes. It'll maybe not look too tall, but don't worry. It should have at least grown by 50%.
• Turn oven on to 375 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes (don't worry about preheat time. Those 8 minutes are included when I did it).
• Bread should be pretty much done, but let it slide out of loaf pan and cook on wire rack in oven for 10 more minutes at 300 degrees.
• When done, let it cool for ten minutes. You can avoid the urge to start eating by getting coffee going.
• Enjoy, with or without coffee.

VERY SIMPLE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together the spelt flour, sesame seeds, salt, molasses, baking soda and milk until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Placing a tin of the same size over the top of the loaf while baking gives it a lovely crust.

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).
