Spelt Bread Recipe for Bread Machine

In 2hrs 46min we get beautiful loaves that rise above the top of the pan!

1 cup lukewarm water (be exact)

1 egg – room temperature

1 tablespoon yeast -sprinkle over water (SAF brand, or Fleishman’s “Rapid Rise Bread Machine” Yeast – VERY important)

2 tablespoons cane sugar (or brown sugar)

1 tablespoon molasses (we use wholesome sweetener’s brand)

2 tablespoons honey

4 cups white spelt flour (light spelt flour; whole spelt maybe substituted upto 1 cup or so)

1/4 cup quick oats

3 tablespoons becel margarine or butter

2 teaspoons sea salt

Put ingredients in bread machine pan in order listed.

Use the “light crust” 2lb  basic white cycle (& rapid cycle if avail)

Spelt doesn’t like to be over beaten or over baked.

• Most of our ingredients are organic, my dad is a beekeeper, we use his honey…
• the spelt we get from a local farmer just north of Toronto millsmills.ca bagged or bulk is avail too (so are spelt berries/kernels).
• Whole spelt will most likely not rise as high. I would suggest a mix. The amount of protein in the batch of flour itself will also be a factor in how high the bread will rise as well.
• Organic oats are also fairly local oakmanorfarms.ca – London Ontario way.
