100% SPELT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
From the UK website www.sharphampark.com converted to Imperial measures and slightly modified. Adjust the yield below to match your bread machine capacity. Personally, I make a 1 lb loaf in a Black & Decker bread machine designed for a 1-1/2 lb loaf. For a slightly different loaf, use 3 1/2 cups spelt flour and 1/2 cup quinoa flour. Note: The rapid bake cycle on my bread machine is approx. 2 hours long. I have noticed that some bread machines have a super rapid cycle of approx. 1 hour. I doubt this recipe would work on a super rapid cycle. (Note on nutrition values: the nutrition values for the spelt flour and almond milk are not included in the nutrition table. It appears Food.com does not have spelt flour and almond milk in their database.)

Steps:
- Place the water, sugar and yeast in the loaf pan of the bread machine.
- Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes.
- Add the oil, flour and salt to the loaf pan.
- Select the Rapid Bake, Light Crust setting, and press Start.
- Help unstuck any flour from the sides during the first mix cycle. Add additional flour or liquid, if needed. I didn't need to.
- My bread machine has a 7 minute power failure backup feature. I unplug the bread machine during the last rise cycle for 5 minutes. This gives a lighter loaf when finished.
- When baked, the internal temperature should be between 190°F and 200°F.
- When finished baking, let cool 1 hour on a rack before storing in a plastic bag (I use a zip-lock). The loaf can be sliced and frozen, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right spelt flour: Whole grain spelt flour is the best choice for this recipe as it provides a nutty flavor and a higher nutritional value. If you don't have whole grain spelt flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead, but the bread may be less flavorful.
- Activate the yeast properly: To ensure that the yeast is active and will help the bread rise properly, make sure to activate it in warm water (around 110°F or 45°C) with a little bit of sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, until the yeast becomes foamy and bubbly.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic, and passes the windowpane test (when you stretch a small piece of dough, it should form a thin, translucent membrane without tearing).
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm environment helps the yeast to work and the dough to rise properly. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place (around 75-85°F or 24-29°C) for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the dough properly: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into two equal parts. Shape each part into a loaf and place them in greased loaf pans. Let the loaves rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have almost doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking spelt bread is 375°F or 190°C. This temperature allows the bread to bake evenly and develop a golden brown crust without burning.

With its nutty flavor, high nutritional value, and easy-to-follow recipe, this 100% spelt bread is a great option for those looking for a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional white bread.
