Recipes FAQ

Can I use regular whole wheat flour instead of spelt flour?

Yes, you can substitute spelt flour with whole wheat flour in this recipe. However, the texture and taste of the bread may be slightly different.

Can I use a bread machine to make this bread?

Yes, you can use a bread machine to make this bread. Simply add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer and select the dough cycle. Once the dough is ready, shape it into a loaf and bake it in the oven as directed.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. Water that's too hot can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the bread pan well instead.
  • If you want a crusty bread, you can brush the top of the loaf with water before baking and sprinkle it with some oats or seeds.
