On the bag for Gilchester Organics 100% Whole Spelt Flour is a recipe for Three Minute Spelt Bread. This involves no kneading and no leaving to rise. Could it possibly work? I was very sceptical but gave it a go.
The dough is nothing like for normal bread - in fact it's more like a rich cake mixture which you spoon into the loaf tin. It goes straight into the oven at 200C for an hour. Amazingly, after a few minutes it has risen. It doesn't look like normal bread - the rise is very uneven.
So what's it like? I tried it while still warm with butter. It's fairly heavy and is very nutty. I'm not sure if this is the spelt or the seeds in the recipe. It's more like a heavy cake than bread.
Would I make it again? I'm not sure - I'll have to see what it's like for breakfast.
The recipe linked to above is not very clear - it uses 500ml water. The recipe on the bag is right.
