Wholegrain Spelt Yeast Bread

Yeast Bread making can be fun if you are persistent in getting a hang of it!   Honestly, I made so many bricks before making decent ones.  I have been making yeast breads for almost a decade now.  I love Spelt flour for its texture, taste and health benefits!   My kids love this flour too.   My younger one -12 yrs old makes awesome cakes, cup cakes and choco chip cookies with Spelt Flour.   It is a great blessing for people like us who do not eat egg.

Activate Yeast

• Water temperature is critical for yeast making.   It should neither be too hot nor too cold.  Activate yeast in a luke warm water.   Measure 1/4 cup water, add 1 tsp sugar and 2.5 tsp of yeast.   Mix well and leave it aside for 5 mins.  It should froth if not discard and repeat!

• I used bread machine to knead, rise, proof and bake!
