Spelt Sourdough Bread
Dinkel-Sauerteigbrot
A light loaf that highlights spelt's nutty flavour through a long rest and gentle folds.
What makes this bread distinctive?
Spelt dough can relax faster than wheat dough. Short mixing, controlled hydration and gentle folds build structure without overworking it.

HOME-OVEN FORMULA
From worktop to oven,
step by step.
Flour absorption, starter strength and room temperature all affect the result. On your first bake, watch the dough rather than the clock alone.
Method
- 01
Measure every ingredient before starting Spelt Sourdough Bread. Adjust the final water gradually because flour absorption varies.
- 02
Mix until no dry flour remains, then follow the Cold fermentation method without forcing the dough.
- 03
Ferment until the dough shows clear aeration and expansion. Treat the stated time as guidance rather than a fixed deadline.
- 04
Shape gently, proof until ready and preheat the oven thoroughly before baking.
- 05
Bake until the crust and centre are fully set, then cool on a rack before slicing.
BAKER'S NOTES
Small details,
better results.
- Use fermentation signs rather than the clock alone.
- Preheat the oven thoroughly and record useful adjustments for the next bake.
- Cool completely when the loaf has a dense rye or whole-grain crumb.
