I have flax, psyllium and chia seeds so I will try adding that, thank you for this idea! Do you grind your flax and chia before adding and is the psyllium powder or flakes?

I've started watching a few spelt flour bread videos, it would be great if i could come across one where you cut the bread and we can see what it's like!

[@meekaetienne4812]

Thanks so much for the recipe. It turned out Soo well. I made it in the bread machine but let the wet ingredient mix sit for a few minutes first before adding the last 2 ingredients and putting on the bread maker. Only other diff is I used ~4 tbs honey instead of sugar and 1/4 cup olive oil instead of butter. Turned out light and fluffy. Gracias!!

[@AldermanFarms]

Wonderful! De nada!!

I love spelt bread.

[@RhondaRichter-1234]

I can smell it here in north central Wisconsin!! I love making bread! Thank you for this recipe.

[@AldermanFarms]

aw, you're so welcome!

[@kennahermes6111]

I love watching you knead by hand. You do it so gently. You have taught me what my dough should look & feel like when it has come together & has enough flour. Before my dough was always too sticky, but I was afraid to keep adding more flour. Thank you for talking so well through all of your bread videos.

[@AldermanFarms]

aw! That means so much!! When I'm making the videos, often I wonder if I'm talking to much. I really, really appreciate your taking the time to tell me that. THANK YOU!

[@feliciagaffney1998]

Yes! I agree Kenna! I've been working with spelt for the past year now. Mine is always so sticky and usually truly unkneadable... even when using spelt recipes. I've tried adding more flour at times but been afraid to add too much. And I've finally decided I just need to go for it some time and add enough flour (or start with less liquid) to make it kneadable. Oddly, my breads always turn out, even at such high hydration. It seems to be a forgiving flour. Which is good for those of us beginner bakers! Lol.

[@feliciagaffney1998]

@@AldermanFarms I also thank you for all the instruction, Patti! Don't fear you are talking too much. Some of us need all that information!

Thank you so much for this recipe! Will be trying it out soon. I have never made bread before and also new to using spelt. It’s so helpful to actually see the whole process start to finish.

Yes! I’ve been looking for a spelt recipe for my mom.

Just like to comment about the extraordinary benefits of the spelt, please if you are reading this, look for it you will be surprised, Ancient grain good for many things Skin, blood, , energy diabetics lower blood sugar. 🙌🙌 best bread you can have

[@madelyn810]

I grew up with my mom grinding her own spelt flour but I never a fan of the bread, i always the sweet tasting white stuff. Flash forward 20 years and I am finally admitting my gluten intolerance and going back to spelt aha, thank you for this!

[@AldermanFarms]

Try gf for a while then add spelt. Seemed to work for me!

[@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara]

Thank you for sharing. You always make bread making look easy.

I am so excited! This bread turned out perfect. Thank you. I've have been playing around with different recipes and this really was easy and delicious.

@@AldermanFarms Do you have a pizza dough recipe with whole sprouted spelt?

[@AldermanFarms]

No, I haven’t used sprouted. My pizza dough recipe, using spelt flour and sourdough, is the same as my pita dough recipe. Do you have my sourdough ebook?

[@shanapergande3202]

@@AldermanFarms No I don’t. I’ve tried doing sourdough for a while and gave up on it. I don’t bake that much. I like to try to bake bread every once in a while. I usually buy my pizza dough but that bread turn out so well, I thought what the heck, try to make some pizza dough. 😆

Made this loaf today and came out exactly the same. Beautiful, tastes great, nice and soft, good height, didn’t over spill like other recipes. I didn’t prove it quite as long but it’s a bit warm today. This is going to be my go to recipe. Love it! Thanks for sharing 🍞💕

[@kellyb8237]

Does it need sugar? All my bread machine recipes don't require sugar.

[@fevkin]

I'm gonna try your recipe as the result looks very mouthwatering. I'm into spelt because of the way wheat has been adulterated

[@lorrainedemars3368]

Good information about the flour. This is new to me very interesting. Thank you.

Thank you, Patti! Beautiful bread! I wish you'd showed us what it looks like after you slice it. Look forward to trying your recipe! 💞 Can you tell us which yeast you have used? Is that instant? Thanks!

[@AldermanFarms]

Thank you!! The yeast I’m using now is bellarise instant yeast I get at Sams club.

Me too!!

[@Lauralamontanaro]

Love the editing!😄😄 I wonder if adding those extras would do the same for a gluten free bread. I will definitely try it out and get back to you!!

[@AldermanFarms]

that's where I learned about the additions! I always add them to any gluten-free bread!

[@julial3325]

Am on the Blood Type Diet. I can't eat wheat cuz the lechtins (proteins) are not compatible with my blood type (type O) though I can handle gluten. This bread would be a good choice for me. Thanks for sharing

[@Swaller]

Can you leave out the psyllium husk if you don’t have it, or will it ruin the bread?

[@sunnyellison5184]

1 cup water 1 egg 1 & 1/2 salt yeast 1 tbs 1 tsp psyllium husk 2 tbs sugar 1 tbs flaxseed 1 tsp chia seed oil butter thank you.

[@nancygreenhaw5926]

I love your recipe and I used your recipe and it turned out great but after a day or two, it fell apart after cutting. What did I do wrong? Thank you and God bless you.

thanks, Debra!!!!

[@thatotherdebra1834]

Thanks! 😊

[@feliciagaffney1998]

Not to take away from Patti's Azure link (I used to order from Azure Standard, but there is a min order and for a single person like me, it can be difficult to always come up with enough things to make an order), but I get my spelt (white and wholemeal) from my local health food store. I wish I could order more regularly from Azure. I just don't need everything in bulk. If you can, I would definitely order from Azure. They have some great products!

[@willie0001]

Love this bread, mill my own spelt berries then sift the bigger stuff out. I think my milled flour must not absorb moisture as well as pre-ground flour as I've 5 times now and always end up using 3.5 cups of flour and maybe a little more. My bread when done is thick and heavy, I love the taste of the fresh milled spelt but not sure what I could do different. What would happen if I tried less flour? What would happen if I kneaded too much or too little? Trying to see what things I can tweak to see differences. I've bought some pre-ground spelt which I'll try next time. My bread doesn't seem to grow as much after I put into bread pan, it doesn't get longer so even after baked it doesn't really reach the ends of the pan. Like I said still great flavor but a little crumbly to make sandwiches from, maybe two eggs? thanks in advance

[@AldermanFarms]

Definitely try using less flour. Make a more sticky dough. Also if you are using a mixer try making by hand. It’s harder to kneed in as much flour. Kneading too much can make a more dense loaf also. Just knead enough to make a nice smooth dough.

[@massageomahalisa]

Any luck with a spelt sour dough starter recipe, overnight countertop proof, and no stretch and folds?

[@missourigirl4101]

Interesting

[@carolearcher2778]

I noticed my bread is not getting brown at the top. please help

[@cellow7926]

Has anyone done this on stand mixer? How long do I knead it for and at what speed setting?

[@arunadawn7459]

Can I leave out the egg?

[@AldermanFarms]

You can but it may not rise as much. Also may not need quite as much flour.

[@ibolyatoth7205]

Hi Patty, did you use white or whole spelt flour in your recipe?

[@AldermanFarms]

Both! I mix it half and hafl

[@direfranchement]

This is a very old school approach. No scale. No stand mixer. No tight measurements. It's terrifying to me as someone who relies on recipes, but it's also a reminder that humans were baking long before electricity, refrigeration, and all this fancy equipment that we're told we need to bake that perfect loaf.

[@JustBeYouooh]

You don’t add yeast to salt!

[@AldermanFarms]

You don’t add yeast to TOO MUCH salt. 🙂

Manners?? When you make a video tutorial on making bread you NEED to show the crumb so we can see what it looks like! It's important! Little missy manners.

Congratulations you killed you yeast

[@imluctor5997]

its either cups or teaspoons. Im sick of this. Just give us precise measurements AKA GRAMS

[@babyreps365]

😂😂😂😂 whoa bud relax. It's a north American thing all my elders cook this way. The scale is new to us I'm the only one in my family that even owns a scale. But yes I agree it's a more precise method once you get the hang of it.
