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.

Looks lovely , I've never tasted it . Does it taste sour or is that just the name?😊
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.
Looks delicious. Wish I could try some haha!
Thank you and maybe I'll have to send some in the post Ali LOL 
In the post?? I thought you could just nip to kent one afternoon on your bike and deliver me a loaf 😂😂
Oh I love that, now that would be a good ride on the bike 😂😅xx
Thank you Zoonie. That's good as it won't be long before you can make yours then.
It looks lovely. Enjoy!
Thank you, it's turned out well
I do love bread.
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.
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.
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!
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.
It looks like a really good bake. xx
Thank you bobbybobb ,its worked really well and I was able to soften the crust this time xx
That is looking amazing Alicia! I can almost smell it!
Thank you Hidden ,it did smell good when baking 😋
Thank you Jerry,I certainly am enjoying it😋
Looks like a couple of engineering bricks to me! still you can park your bike between them!! No they look really tasty but my weight needs watching,so i can look but cant touch! Enjoy it for all of us wash your hands though! stay well all
They could well be, you never know😅.
Well done on your dedication with your weight, notceasy in this current climate.
I've never washed my hands, phone or purse so much.
Stay safe and well.😊
I havent tried "notceasy" in any climate, but thanks anyway ha! ha! you too
Ha ha, can't you tell I'm using my phone keyboard, it has mind of its own LOL.😅
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
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
The aroma is spreading this way nicely. Looks lovely
Thank you, it did taste good🙏
Wonderful! Please pass some over.
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
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.
