Thanks Shari, it really is soft and made great toast. I think next time I would mix the spelt with bread flour at maybe a 30/70 ratio to see if I can get it to hold the raise a bit more. Either that or raise the spelt only once for 30 minutes, because I did like the flavor. I know about the fails, seems like they group themselves together for some reason. Very frustrating! I did buy my pumpernickel and rye flour directly from King Arthur They also have a seed/grain mix that I love and I put it in a wheat bread recipe that I make regularly. I bought my spelt in my grocery store in the health market area. I believe it’s Bob’s Red Mill flour.

Good for you Christine, let me know if you have any questions. Your yeast has a expiration date on it. I’d replace it if that date is long gone but chances are it’s still fine.

Thank you Gerard! I really enjoyed that bread and will make it again. Thank you for the nice comments on the photos. That is a work in progress for me!

Thank you Caroline! I love to bake, and there is just something about bread that I find therapeutic. There are so many things I want to make too, but just so much time and belly room!
