Mrs. Mark's Spelt Bread


2 TBSP yeast
½ cup warm water

5 cup hot tap water

2 TBSP salt

2/3 cup oil

2/3 cup honey

12 cups spelt flour
 
1.  Sprinkle yeast in water and let stand for 15 min.  Adding 1 TBSP sugar helps the yeast to rise.
 
2.  Grind 9 cups spelt into flour using a fine setting.  Combine in boche mixer 8 cups of spelt and the hot tap water.  Mix on low until well mixed.

3.  Add salt, oil, and honey and mix well.  Add 1 cup flour, the prepared yeast mix and blend thoroughly.
 
4.  Add additional cups of spelt flour one at a time to the mixer while mixing on low speed.  Add until dough pulls off the sides of the bowl and climbs up the center post of the mixer.  Mix for an additional 4 minutes only.

5.  Generously grease the sides and tops of 4  8-1/2” bread pans.  Oil the counter top.  Spread dough on counter and do not fold, (this causes bubbles and messes up the texture of the dough).  Divide into 4 even balls by pinching off a section.  Dough will be soft and sticky, but you should be able to handle it a little.  Put in pan, and pat down.  Pat top with water to smooth out and prevent drying.  Let rise for 25 minutes or until the dough has increased by 1/3 (which is about to the top of the pan.) 

6. Turn on oven to 350 degrees.  Let dough continue rising until oven is hot.  Bake for 45 min., makes 4
This recipe is very sticky.  It is suppose to be that way.  However we do add slightly more flour than the recipe calls for, to make it just a little easier to handle.

It is sticky enough you will not think it can possible make a good bread but does.
This is Blaine’s favorite.

Bread Machine Spelt Bread (Jon Thomspon)


2 ¼ cups Spelt Flour
1/2 cup Thick Rolled Oats
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Honey
1 tsp Salt
1 Cup +2 TBS water
1 tsp Yeast
Set on Basic Light Loaf (4 hours)

Put all dry ingredients (except yeast which goes in dispenser in lid) in the pan first.  Then add liquid.
All measurements should be made pretty much exact but the most important ingredient to get exactly correct is the water.  If you put in too much water (even a tsp too much) the bread loaf will be short or will cave in.
To make by hand (without bread machine) simply triple batch.
