RE: Spelt Flour vs. Modern Wheat Flour — My Take on How to Use Them / スペルト小麦と現代小麦、どう使い分ける?

in BreadBakers7 days ago

I've used spelt, also einkorn and kamut flours - all ancient grains, I think. I usually use them half and half with modern wheat flour. Einkorn is my favourite, it doesn't rise much and has a soft texture, more like soda bread or scones. It is very nice with cheese, and with jam. Kamut is a golden flour, it gives a yellow colour to the bread. None of them rise as much as modern wheat flour, but they make nice bread.

I've been experimenting with using rye and barley flour as well. They make very dense loaves, so best mixed with lots of modern wheat flour. But they have a nice taste, so nice to have now and then. In England, we have a meal called "tea" which is mainly bread and different kinds of spreads (jam etc) and cake, and a nice cup of tea, so there's lots of opportunity to have different breads every day 😁

I wish I have more space to host various flours. Yes, out look doesn't matter but many be sexy bread on SNS make me stick to outlook 🫠

Rye is something fun. It's like playing with cray. It's so messy that we cannot believe it turns to be a bread but it does. Now I feel like baking full rye bread after a while!

I learn a lot of tasty England food and culture here 😄
