PERFECT BREAD MACHINE SPELT BREAD



Perfect Bread Machine Spelt Bread image

My husband's quest to find a recipe which produces light, fluffy (rather than solid and dense) spelt bread from a bread machine has finally paid off. He did lots of experimenting, and this one has produced consistently good results. Update: can't see how to respond to the review which found the bread heavy, so responding here. If you definitely used WHITE spelt flour, not wholewheat, then it sounds as though perhaps different bread machines get different results? :-( However, there is one other possibility. Did you use fast action dried yeast, suitable for breadmakers? Or Dried active yeast which is for hand baking? We were using the former. The other thing my husband suggested trying, if you're using the correct flour and yeast, is to try upping the amount of yeast you're using, and see if that helps. You could also try upping the amount of water slightly, but try each solution separately first :-) My husband's number one rule, stemming from his scientific background :-) Hope one of these tips work, and not that it is the bread machine themselves (ours is a Panasonic SD255)

SPELT BREAD RECIPE

We really liked this spelt bread recipe. The crust of the bread was crisp and hard. However, the bread itself was soft. Spelt bread is delightfully hearty!

HONEY SPELT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Honey Spelt Bread (Bread Machine) image

The original recipe came from a whole grains cookbook and used whole wheat flour instead of spelt, but I'm starting to experiment with spelt flour in my breads and made a few adjustments. It turned out fantastic! A light whole grain bread with great flavor, perfect for sandwiches! You could also use any other whole grain flour instead of spelt.

BREAD MACHINE WHOLE SPELT BREAD



Bread Machine Whole Spelt Bread image

Makes one loaf. Makes your house smell like a bakery. Coffee suggested to serve with. :) This is the recipe i used to make a spelt loaf today. The aroma of this bread cooking is so wonderful, especially on a winter evening. It's easy to add seeds or nuts as you like (I did) and what I love is that it's kneaded in the bread machine. Use as the bread for a Reuben sandwich. Or serve toasted stuffed with rondele and hot sauerkraut for an unbelievably tasty and filling lunch. Add some beef bacon if you don't mind mixing meat and dairy for a 5 star sandwich. I'll tweak it as I find better methods, but for now enjoy this as-is. I used other recipes and flour properties to gauge how to bake up a soft loaf and it turned out really really well in my opinion. The husband gives it 5 stars :D

Time 3h5m

Yield 12 Slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups water, lukewarm
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 4-6 bits
3 cups spelt flour, organic
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed light brown
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast
1/2 teaspoon bread machine yeast
flax seed
sunflower seeds, raw
1/2 cup spelt flour, for kneading and shaping

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.

PERFECT SPELT BREAD



Perfect Spelt Bread image

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet years ago and it is the best spelt bread recipe I have ever used. I am putting it on here so that I won't lose it. I get lovely light perfectly raised loaves of bread each time I make it. The trick with spelt is to NOT over knead it. When using wheat flour it is almost impossible to knead "too long" but with spelt flour if you knead too long your finished loaves will come out heavy and crumbly. Remember to add the flour gradually and only use enough that you don't actually stick to everything as you knead. I usually add the last cup or so a bit at a time so I can stop when I think the dough has enough flour. Hope you enjoy it! For a lighter flavour and texture, use up to 50% white spelt flour. NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DON'T OVER-KNEAD SPELT DOUGH!

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 loaves, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105F - 110F)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons sea salt
6 cups spelt flour (use any combination of whole or white spelt.)

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, water and honey in a large warm bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes or until the yeast softens.
  • Stir in the butter and salt and 3 cups of flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the remaining flour in increments until the dough become too stiff to stir, then place the dough on a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead for about 6 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessart, until the dough become smooth and elastic. Do not overknead!
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 2 hours or until doubled in bulk. (I find that sometimes it only takes an hour, make sure to check!).
  • Grease two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans. Punch the dough down to deflate it and divide it in half. Form each half into a smooth loaf and place in a prepared pan.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm draft-free spot for about 1 hour or until the dough has risen to the top of the pans. (Again, I find that it seems to take less time than listed here.).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Uncover the risen loaves. Place the pans on a heavy baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until the tops are light brown and crusty. Remove from the oven and tap out of the pan into the baking sheet. Turn the oven off and return the breads to the oven to crisp for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
