Spelt Bread Just Out of the Oven
Had I not been paying attention to coming weather, I would not have been able to predict that I would likely work from home today. I then wouldn’t have had, to go with bean soup, bread that needs 24 hours to develop.

Karen asked, “where are the helicopters?” “Maybe, Obama doesn’t need them,” I replied, “maybe…
Your spelt bread looks fantastic! I’ve been thinking about it all morning, and looked up some recipes on the internet. None look as good as yours. Yours looks like a kind of sour dough. Do you have time to give us the recipe?
My go to bread recipe is the “no knead” bread from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html?_r=0. I used all spelt flour instead of bread flour.

The recipe also stands up to one third whole wheat or rye instead of all bread flour. I did an extra rise for a couple of hours, which contributed to its sourdough like characteristics.
I remember trying this recipe a few years ago. Mine turned out to be a really runny mess. Yours looks so good! I’ll add your comments to the recipe I just printed out and give it a try. First to find the flour. Maybe I’ll just order it from King Arthur Flour.
