PERFECT SPELT BREAD
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!

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.
PERFECT BREAD MACHINE SPELT BREAD
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)

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).

- Levain (Night before 9:00 p.m.)Add the levain ingredients to a jar and mix well. Leave to ferment overnight.
- Mix (9:00 a.m.)When your levain is mature and ready to be used, add the Main Dough ingredients and the levain (from step 1) to a mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix everything until it comes together into a shaggy mass. Continue to stretch and fold the dough over itself in the bowl to build strength, it will transform from sticky and shaggy to smooth and elastic over the course of 4-5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a container for bulk fermentation and cover.
- Bulk fermentation (9:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.)During the 3.5 hour bulk fermentation, give the dough four sets of stretch and folds where the first set is 15 minutes after the start, then every 30 minutes thereafter. After the fourth set, let the dough rest, covered, until the end of bulk.
- Preshape (12:45 p.m.)Gently scrape the dough out of the bulk fermentation container to an unfloured work surface and preshape tightly into a taut round. Let the dough rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
