Spelt Bread

Submitted by: Twin2

This recipe was developed for a customer of mine who is unable to eat white sugar and white flour:

2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup (potato based) starter
6 cups spelt flour

To make without the starter:

5 cups spelt flour
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yeast
2 Tablespoons honey (or up to 1/4 cup if you like sweet)
1 1/4 cups water

Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon. Turn onto a spelt floured board and work into a ball. Knead gently until it forms a nice smooth ball, just a few minutes. Place into an 8 x 4 bread pan. Let rise until it just clears the top of the pan nicely. Bake at about 350 degrees until done. This bread is dense and may fool you into thinking it is done before it is. I do the thump test on this one.

I tried making spelt bread twice, but each time I ended up with absolutely lovely door stops. I still have about 5 pounds of spelt flour, but don't know how to use it up. I give anyone credit that can produce an edible spelt bread. My hat's off to you.
