You're welcome, thanks for your lovely comment. Wow, your first spelt bread, that's exciting! I hope you enjoying eating it too! Baking homemade bread is so rewarding and delicious.
I,m about to bake spelt bread for the first time, having previously baked whole wheat and white breads, this is my adventure into " ancient " grains. Thanks for your help
I really appreciate your channel! Each time I’m looking for a recipe, I stumble across a video you have done! 1. I appreciate the majority of your recipes using solely spelt 2. That you use a stand mixer and show us the speeds you are using 3. You are very detailed and considerate of your viewers in providing different options 4. You answer questions asked of you in a timely manner. Very quick for me since when I’m asking a question I’m about to try one of your recipes Your channel should have more subscribers. Thank you for consistently posting and sharing!
Thank you for your support and lovely comments. I really love sharing my recipes and ideas with others, it brings me joy when people appreciate my work ❤️. Hopefully I can film a few more before the end of the year but I got sick again this week. 😫🤧
Me too. Great fun; yum Easy recipe Definitely NOT gonna buy 50 ingredient “bread“ from the grocery store anymore. I did find some “sprouted” bread the other day.
I'm new to bread making, especially working with whole grains and ancient grains. I've never used spelt flour. I had some organic sprouted spelt flour so I made your recipe, used maple syrup instead of sugar... You gave wonderful instructions. Didn't have a mixer so I hand kneaded the dough. The bread came out beautifully. The taste is delicious. I was pleasantly surprised. This recipe is a keeper, so easy! Thank you, subscribed.
Thanks so much Sue. My friend told me the only way we should eat bread is if we make it ourselves as it's changed so much. I had organic spelt flour so I watched your video through then pretty much paused as I went through it a second since I was making it as I followed. I still managed to make some mistakes but wow; it still worked out so well. Another thing, you are so easy to find because of your apron. Thanks again. Don.
You’re welcome Don. I never consider myself a bread person until I started baking my own spelt bread. Thrilled that you’re able to spot me 🤣 in a sea of videos. I am glad you gave it a go. I am sure you’ll improve in no time with more practice. Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a happy Sunday 🙋🏼♀️👋🏻
Thank you so much for this very simple recipe. I love spelt bread. I used to buy it but that is no longer available. We have just started to make our own bread and we still have a lot to learn. Eva from the United States. I grew up in Perth, Australia and I have many fond memories from there.
Thank you for this recipe, personally based on the family's suggestions, I have added around 50-60ml more water, the dough is stickier to handle but the bread is less dry the following day. I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves ❤
Thank you so much. I’m going to give that a try this week!! I try to fast three days a week for religious reasons, and having this yummy bread will make us so much easier.
I made this recipe today and it turned out amazing! First time making bread 😊 Thank you so much for showing us this recipe, I’ll be checking out more of your videos!
Wow well done 👍🏻. Isn’t baking homemade bread rewarding. Thanks for your message. I made a cranberry version of this a few days ago. Is this something I should share?
Just happened upon your channel and so glad I did! I recently invested in an electric mill grinder and now grind my own Spelt and Hard White Wheat berries (organic, non-gmo) and have made a few batches of rolls using either or both flours but have yet to try a spelt loaf and your video is a tremendous help! Thank you Sue Maree!
Hi Sue! Thank you for your sweet videos! I have just recently subscribed and I plan to make this bread as I bought a kilo of spelt grain cheap on marketplace from a wholesaler who needed to sell his excess cheap. I am an expat from the states in Sydney going on 14 yrs now! Did you miss Australia? What part of Australia are you from? I will definitely try this recipe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Lisa
Wonderful! Thanks for your lovely message. How do you grind your grain? What a great find. I grew up in Sydney then spent many years in Melbourne then London. I miss friends and family but also love new adventures.
THANK you for this recipe! THANK YOU! My spelt has been coming out soft on the inside and the crust crumbles all over the place . The recipe I used isn't even close to this one. I will be making this tomorrow! YAY... Will this same recipe work with Kamut?
That’s wonderful. I’m thrilled you tried it and you love it. I’m not sure about kumut I’ve never baked with it. If you experiment let me know how you get on. Happy baking!!
super video and very nice lady. great for a recipe without sourdough starter. Simple and I hope my bread will be "fantastic". I have a question: Why some others recipes have also seeds like flaxseeds, sunflowers seeds etc for spelt bread. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely message. You can add extras if you’d like. Keep an eye on the hydration. I think I have some recipes adding seeds. I will have a look and send you a link.
@francoise-mariethein682 As promised here are a few spelt bread with seeds: Spelt seeded bread ruclips.net/video/GOr9iqX8GRs/видео.htmlsi=shmo4UpH2pMl6Xbs. One with olives and pumpkin seeds ruclips.net/video/AE2EEYlZI7w/видео.html and spelt chia seed bread ruclips.net/video/drVmEuhxUOw/видео.html Enjoy
Nice video. I've been working with einkorn flour for a bit and a friend sent me some spelt to play with. I was happy to find your video. I do wonder if there's a difference in the measurement of the flour between whole grain and all purpose?
Welcome aboard! I'm glad you found me. I haven't baked with Einkorn yet. When I first started baking with white spelt flour I used white spelt and swapped my recipes 1:1 for all-purpose flour. Wholegrain flour both spelt and regular wheat flour usually is denser and weighs more. But it also can vary from brand to brand how fine it is milled. Over the years I have found it's best to always weigh with scales when experimenting with different grains. eg. Cups vary from the UK/Australia to the US/Canada. flour type. So to have consistent results scales are best. Some pancake and cake recipes are forgiving with cups but with bread, you really need to be accurate. Bread making is also intuitive and you need to use your eyes to check the dough and adjust the water content. Happy baking.
Great video. Thank you. I just purchased some freshly ground spelt and soaked it in yogurt for 24 hours as per the recommendations of the book “nourishing traditions.” I’m going to now try using my spelt with this recipe. I have just a few hours before my soaked flour is ready. Wondering if you’ve ever tried this technique and if you have any recommendations? Thanks
Thanks for your lovely comment. I haven't tried baking bread using soaked spelt yet. I must check out that book too. I think you could use my recipe as a guide, but keep an eye of the water and flour content as the soaked spelt flour would need less water added or extra flour. Only add a little extra at a time. Let me know what you end up doing I am interested to know how it turns out. Happy baking. nb. last month I tried baking a bread using soaked buckwheat groats and it was a disaster and tasted terrible.
@@SueMareeP well, sadly I realized I have no yeast left. So I went with the recipe from nourishing traditions that called for baking soda. The batter made enough for a loaf and then I made 12 mini muffin loaves. They taste great, but sadly didn’t rise. When they first went in the oven, I looked through the glass and everything was rising beautifully. I came back 15 minutes later, and everything had sunk 😭. Not sure what happened, but I don’t want to give up. Next, I will try your recipe. Just need to order some yeast. 😁. Have a lovely day!
Thank you for this recipe. I've been looking for an easy wholemeal bread recipe and this one is just perfect. I just bought spelt flour and can't wait to try this recipe tomorrow. However I'm a bit worried about the tin. I think my tin is a bit too big. What tin are you using? Thank you!!
+Sonia Martín you’re welcome. So pleased you love the sound of my recipe. It is easy to make. My loaf tin may be classed as a smaller one. I double checked the size. Loaf tin 900g 2 lb Internal size 12.5cm 5inch 22.5cm 9inch 6.5cm 2.5 inch I hope that helps. Let me know how you get on. It could still work but won’t look as high.
@@SueMareeP Hi!!!!! So I went to the shop and got a smaller tin. Mine is definitely big enough for a whole kg of flour. I just had two slices, on their own. This bread is DELICIOUS!! Thank you again for the recipe. It was dead easy to make and it looks so perfect and professional, like store bought!! I will definitely make it again and again. I'm going to try more of your recipes. You are such a gem!! New follower here!!
I made this yesterday and for some reason it did not rise as much on the second rise but still tastes good! I’m just wondering what I could have done wrong. I used a Pullman pan and fresh milled whole grain spelt. Do you think that may have been the issue? I’m going to try it again soon.
Depending on your kitchen temperature you might need to leave it to rest a little longer. From my experience the second rise is never as big as the first. Some courser grains won’t get the spring like fluffy white bread. I would trust taste over form. Well done 👍🏻
👋 hello I have a question do I not need to wait 10 minutes for the yeast to active and see bubbles before mixing? I'm new to baking bread I was just wondering because this is a step that's used in making just regular Loaf bread. Is this step not needed because it's spelt flour?
It depends where you live and what the yeast is called. If you’re using fast dried yeast no need to wait you add this directly into the flour. If you’re using active dry yeast then yes. Here in Sweden now I add the dry yeast straight into the flour and it seems to still work. So I reckon it’s fast yeast. In mu early days of baking bread and some of my earlier videos I thought waiting was the way to go but it really depends on the brand of yeast. Another tip what the packet says. I hope that helps.
@@SueMareeP I was watching A video of someone making spelt bread and they used xanthan gum to replace gluten make more puffy. It’s 1 tsp per cup flour. No I haven’t tried it yet didn’t know if it was really needed. Your bread looks pretty fluffy without it
Interesting. Spelt flour already has gluten. Maybe it helps?? I find adding enough hydration, no over kneading & add water to your oven the breads is soft snd fluffy. Not like a white bread loaf but for spelt flour very good.
+Charlotte Beseke hello it is similar to processed wholewheat/wholemeal flour unbleached. It is bought packaged already milled & ground. In the stores it’s called wholegrain spelt. I haven’t tackled grinding my own yet. I have only baked with white spelt flour or wholegrain or wholemeal spelt. I hope that is clearer.
Oh. I’ll adjust my notes. The sugar is optional. Sometimes it’s good to add to help the yeast activate but also okay to leave it out. I often swap between adding or not. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for this great video. Since Judith Durham said "Goodbye", I don't have an Aussie ladyfriend -- you're it. Bakes bread, wonderful accent and a pleasant way about you... what's not to love,huh? Please forgive me, I don't mean to be politically incorrect. It's just my Canadian way of saying,"Well done!" G'day.
+John Ross hello. I may have made a mistake with my calculations. I would highly recommend weighing the spelt flour. Flour weights vary from brand to brand & country to country. I use UK/Aust cup sizes. To my knowledge my 1 cup is approx. 125g but wholegrain flour is often heavier. Hope this helps. I am moving house today so I can’t double check for you.

Another thought add an extra teaspoon of yeast. Your homemade flour could be more grainy than my store bought brand. This will give it more lift!

Yes! It makes my stomach happy!!
Did you mill your own flour and if you did how many times did to pass the flour through the miller?
No I’m not that diligent. I always buy my flour already milled or sifted.
Sue do you find using xanthan gum helps at all?
I’m not too experienced with xanthin gum I have only tried it once in gluten free pizza bread. Have you had success with it? What’s the purpose of it?

Does spelt dough not rise in the oven the way wheat dough does?
No it is structurally different less gluten, so sometimes it doesn’t rise as much
