Sourdough Spelt Bread

Here's my recipe for amazing 100% whole grain sourdough bread made with SPELT flour. Spelt, an ancient-grain relative of wheat, has apparently been cultivated since the Bronze Age. You might have come across it in a health food store as it's known for producing soft and airy whole grain bread. If you've already made my 100% whole wheat sourdough bread (link below) and you're trying to incorporate a variety of whole grains into your sourdough bread baking, try giving this "Spelt Sourdough Bread" a shot too! You won't be disappointed. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #spelt

I recently started getting interested in whole grain ancient flours to make sourdough. I tried this and it turned out wonderfully! Moreover, I topped it off with an egg wash along with flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds. I appreciate this recipe. Thank you for doing the experimenting for us and taking the guess work out!

Came here after 2 failed attempts with other recipes. Watching your video helped a lot and I think that my problem was over hydration! I am gonna try your recipe next weekend! Thank u!

[CookieCreamOreo]

Thank you soooo much for this recipe. I’ve watched your video countless of times as I bake the recipe. I found your new version, the simple straight forward video. It’s the same recipe, right? I haven’t found a difference. I like how I was able to print the recipe in the other video. Both videos are very helpful. Thanks to you I learned how to bake a Spelt sourdough bread my family loves. I even bought the berries and got into mulling my own grains. Thank you a million!😊

[Marta-tomf]

I will definitely follow your recipe, great video, thank you!

[KathysFlog]

Thank you, I needed this after my recent run in with a wet Spelt dough. I will begin the process again tomorrow, following your instructions.

[declanmanning]

I like the way you give your bread loving little pats as you go through the a lovely reminder to put care, attention and good feelings into our baking and cooking. Your loaves all look well loved!

[Seleentje]

Thank you for your video! Never knew I used too much hydration for spelt. As someone who is allergic to wheat, spelt sourdough is my only option. I'm trying your recipe right now. Fingers crossed! 🤞

[marcellajones]

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to make 100% spelt sourdough bread from recipes for calling for all-purpose flour. It was always too wet of a dough. Now, I can't wait to try your recipe.

[milarest]

I followed the recipe to the T and it turned out gorgeous! Thank you so!

[knowyourselfbyheart]

Thank you for making this so straightforward! I can't tell you how many articles I've read and videos I've watched that had my head spinning with confusion...THANK YOU! Now that my spelt starter is ready I'm so excited to get going on my first loaf of homemade sourdough tomorrow! You're awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Finally found your site for a 100% spelt flour bread. I like spelt for its digestability . Awesome and thanks fpr sharing 👍

[SirRodneyEver]

I always thought higher hydration meant softer bread but you made this doe soft and its dense in the formula

[jennieelizabeth]

Just made this and it’s fantastic! Mine seemed a lot wetter than yours when I started but I’m glad I didn’t add any extra flour as it turned out great by the end of the rise. I didn’t have a pot to cook it in so I just baked it for longer on an open tray with a tray of ice underneath at a lower temperature. Not sure if it might have turned out even better if I’d cooked it quickly on 500 like you do…? Maybe I’ll try that next time… Either way, definitely the best 100% wholemeal loaf I’ve ever baked baked by far!
