White spelt sourdough bread

38 Replies

As I've now been able to purchase some spelt flour I'm able to make my sourdough bread which I'm really pleased about.

It certainly looks good and if it's anything like last week's bread then I know I'm going to enjoy it.

Have a lovely evening all.

Alicia :)

Looks lovely , I've never tasted it . Does it taste sour or is that just the name?😊

in reply to Buddy34

Some of them can taste sour and the longer you have your starter the more likely you are to taste a slight sourness in the bread, it's not a bad sour taste, it's only fairly mild. I made some of the white spelt last week and I've been enjoying every mouthful. :)

I do love bread.

in reply to Ghounds

So do I, it was hard when I couldn't get the flour.

Shopping can be a challenge with allergies and if you're coeliac.

in reply to Ghounds

It really can. I have IBS but I can tolerate spelt when it's made into sourdough. I had some cornflakes a few weeks back which were supposed to be low fodmap. I had them on the Saturday and Sunday and by the Sunday night I was ill, never again, they had barley in them.

Ibs too plus allergies. Fodmap doesn't seem to make much difference to me, most of the things on the list are a no. Stress certainly doesn't help and I find that sometimes a food can disagree with me when I've been fine before.

in reply to Ghounds

That's such a shame, it's been pretty good with me so far, I do think the exercise I'm doing at the mo is helping a lot.

Food is a funny thing when you have IBS and can be very frustrating. I really hope you find something that eases it for you.

Take care

Thank you. At one time I was down to one type of cracker and boiled water! Thankfully I've improved a fair bit. I'm not sure how my leukaemia impacts my other issues either and none of the doctors know so I just do my best!

I'm very impressed by your cycling, I've never been great on a bike but was lucky enough to have a horse until last year. Daily field clearing was good exercise!

in reply to Ghounds

Oh my goodness, that was very hard for you. I'm glad you've improved but so sorry you have Leukaemia, very hard for you.

Thank you, I love my bike and looking after horses is a very good workout, they are stunning creatures.

I’m not a cook so I’ll have to take your word for it’s taste. Sure it’s nicer than shop bought though x

in reply to Misty4

It's a needs must as I can't have yeast, normal flour and even a GF bread upset my tummy because of the ground almonds in it. I do love sourdough though. I agree, all it has in it is spelt flour and water.

Hope you have a good day x

If I close my eyes I can taste it & it's delicious! Do you think it would be ok for me , as I have a wheat allergy & am trying to find some flour that smells nice when cooking & tastes even better. 🍞 🥖. Chris

in reply to Ilovebunnies

It really is good.

If you have a wheat allergy then I would say no. I have IBS and have an intolerance to the fructans in wheat but because of the way the sourdough is made it's better for my tummy. The gluten in spelt is more soluble than wheat gluten (that's the explanation on the internet). I did make some quinoa bread the other day and it was okay but the problem is it was quite bland so if I make it again I will flavour it with herbs and or spices.
