Spelt flour

[Nikkigabi]

I thought I saw somewhere on here someone had a bread recipe using spelt flour. If anyone has one can you share or a idea where to find it.

I like the Dove’s Farm recipe: dovesfarm.co.uk/recipes/spe...

It’s delicious!

I like the sound of this but what about the carb content? Is it lower carb or gluten free? I came across ‘Cloud bread’ on t’internet, has anyone made this ?

[scats in reply to Cyclegirl54]

Yes wasn't impressed. Preferred coconut flour bread. Made with baking powder and more like cornbread but more satisfying.

[Cyclegirl54 in reply to scats]

That sounds tasty- have you a recipe?

[scats in reply to Cyclegirl54]

12 servings at 1gm carb per serving

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

6 eggs

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

Sieve together dry ingredients

Slowly add wet and stir until smooth

Grease small loaf tin or similar and bake at 175C for 45-50 mins

With a fruit topping it doubles up as cake but because it's not sweet it takes savory too. Unfortunately it's just not bread!

I’ll give that a try too, Thanks!

[Cyclegirl54 in reply to scats]

I will give this try - ta very much😀

Spelt is just a variety of wheat - carbs the same as any other wheat I'm afraid. And it is not gluten-free for the same reason.

Thank you xdbx, I check it out.

[Nikkigabi in reply to Lilact]

Thank you Lilact for sharing. I bought the flour last week to make the bread thinking it’s healthier, now I’m not to sure, but what the heck, try something new!

It still has the carbs. But if you slice it and freeze it it can be toasted and tastes great. I try and do 25mg of carb slices and that depends on knowing carb content of the ingredients. Easy to find if you Google them.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

This can be used to measure carbs. There is one school of thought that you use net carbs. This means you can reduce the amount of carbs by the fibre content. So if 100g if a food contains 75g of carb but has 16g of fibre, the net carbs content is 59g.

Thanks that helps!

Any wholemeal bread recipe should work.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to maria40]

Spelt tends to collapse if you try to do more than one proving session.

[maria40 in reply to PMRpro]

I only use one proving for wholemeal- long and in not too warm a place.

[Nikkigabi in reply to maria40]

Thank you all for your help. Just wanting to try something different.

Perhaps some gram/chick pea flour crackers might tempt you. I have linked a recipe, but I just use the flour and use spices and herbs that I like and some parmesan or other cheese and chilli. I roll it out it on a greased baking sheet and cut with a pizza cutter. If it seems unmanageable as a dough I make it wetter and use a pallet knife to spread it on the baking tray then just break them up when baked.

The recipe is quite far down the page. I tend to just read recipes without the blurb.
