SPELT BREAD (NO DAIRY) FOR THE BREAD MACHINE - ABM
This was the first recipe I used in a bread machine and I'm pretty pleased with the results. The original recipe comes from a local organic flour mill and called for 1 beaten egg, which I replaced with Ener-g.

Steps:
- Add ingredients to machine's mixing pan in the order listed.
- Use 2 lb loaf setting, for whole wheat. Altho, I find the basic setting on mine works well with the light spelt. My machine also comes close to burning the bottom so I set the browning to light. You know your settings best.
- Let the loaf rest on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before slicing.

PERFECT BREAD MACHINE SPELT BREAD
My husband's quest to find a recipe which produces light, fluffy (rather than solid and dense) spelt bread from a bread machine has finally paid off. He did lots of experimenting, and this one has produced consistently good results. Update: can't see how to respond to the review which found the bread heavy, so responding here. If you definitely used WHITE spelt flour, not wholewheat, then it sounds as though perhaps different bread machines get different results? :-( However, there is one other possibility. Did you use fast action dried yeast, suitable for breadmakers? Or Dried active yeast which is for hand baking? We were using the former. The other thing my husband suggested trying, if you're using the correct flour and yeast, is to try upping the amount of yeast you're using, and see if that helps. You could also try upping the amount of water slightly, but try each solution separately first :-) My husband's number one rule, stemming from his scientific background :-) Hope one of these tips work, and not that it is the bread machine themselves (ours is a Panasonic SD255)

Steps:
- Add water to bread machine, then oil, then flour, then salt, then sugar, then yeast.
- Set on "Normal" setting (which is 4 hours), with small loaf and light crust settings.
- NB: If you use wholegrain spelt rather than wholemeal, then reduce the yeast to 1.5 slightly rounded teaspoons (about 3.5g).
Tips:
- Use warm water: Warm water helps activate the yeast and allows it to work more effectively.
- Measure ingredients accurately: Using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients is the most accurate way to ensure consistent results.
- Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and will help the bread rise properly.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a strong structure for the bread.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough rise more quickly and evenly.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The correct temperature will ensure that the bread bakes evenly and has a golden brown crust.
