lorraine gartrell - Using spelt for banana bread and pumpkin bread is one of my favorites.. this kind of bread recipe works well using other flours. Even using spelt in sourdough can work but you can only add a certain percentage to still maintain a decent rise and open crumb but they are still delicious. Thanks for sharing your comment and experience.
I made a sourdough bread using One Degree 300 grams of Spelt and 200 grams of bread flour. I also added black sesame seeds. It was delicious and very sour which is the way I like it. It didn't rise as much as it would without spelt but it was healthier. That is the trade off. I may try 400 grams spelt and 100 grams bread flour. I did do a 500 grams spelt flour and it didn't rise much. I added hemp seeds, sesame seeds, ground flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. It was a very dense loaf but not as sour. I may need to add more water next time. But it was delicious and even better when toasted!
I have recently dived into home made sourdough bred. I have an autoimmune disease and store bought breads and pastas make my inflammation off the charts. Clean eating is important to me, its when I feel the best. I didn't know much about spelt, and was looking into it before diving into a sourdough discard recipes that call for it. I see it a lot in discard recipes, and now that I make bread for my whole family to be healthier I have a lot of discard, and discard recipes have become life because I am just not a wasteful person! Lol. I am so glad I ran into your channel to explain this better as to when and what to use it for. Thank you!
Jacquelynne Witte- Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to write your experience with not only using spelt but using this flour in your sourdough discard recipes. It is great to combine both of those things because the naturally fermented sourdough eats or pre-digests the gluten and makes our digestion so much easier and using Spelt also makes our digestion easier hence, less inflammation. So great to hear you have success with this and that you use your discard so well! I so appreciate your comment. :-) Vidal
Wanderer- Fantastic you can now enjoy a healthier roti... send me your recipe as I would like to try it. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and comment. Peace. Vidal
Mlingeshashree - thank you for taking the time to comment. Spelt flour is really one we all should use more. I really love it and need to continue to experiment with it. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! Vidal
David Clark- Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Spelt is so good it is worth a comment! LOL. Enjoy all your spelt baking! Vidal

Victoria Johnson- I don't use coconut flour much these days so that one I am not sure about but there are some good coconut flour cookbooks that may guide you. First of all don't attempt to use either coconut or almond flour in recipes that need gluten like breads. If you are using it to make cookies or breads like a banana bread then it would work. Gluten-free baking is tricky as you need usually to add some kind of gum and that is why many of the pre-mixed gluten free flours are popular as all that is figured out. When I use almond flour in my crust recipes it comes out a bit more like a cookie crust due to the lack of gluten but it is still delicious. I hope this helps.. thanks for watching and commenting! :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
Aleksandr Kleyman - Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed the information. Always good to keep learning and when we can cook using healthier ingredients then we get the direct benefit. Food is medicine! :-)
Sharon Brown - I am sure you can mix Spelt & Wheat flours although I have not done it so much. The Whole wheat flour will be a bit stronger in texture and flavor, but sometimes you want that in a recipe. Give it a try and let me know how you like it. Thanks for your question & for watching my video! Peace!
Seagull Livingstone- So you mean when you made bread with spelt your dough was too wet and you had to add more flour? That is strange because usually whole grain flours need more water added since they seem to soak it up easier. Or do you mean once the dough was made you needed more flour on the bench as it was stickier? Please describe your issue... I am curious... Spelt bread would be similar to whole wheat ...and harder to rise into a big ball due to the gluten getting cut by the sharp bits of the covering of the grain. Thanks for watching and commenting. I would love to know more what your issue was and if you were able to resolve it. Thank you! Vidal.
Jenkjenk- Yes I used my spelt flour for breading my oyster mushrooms and it worked great. It will taste different but if you like the whole grain flour flavor then go for it. If you are not sure then the first time you try it do a 50/50 mix with All Purpose flour and then see how you like that before you do a batch with 100% spelt. I bet you will like it though! Thanks for watching my video & taking the time to comment. Vidal
A little surprised you don't mill your own flour, buy the wheat berries and mill your own it is soooo much better than any you can buy already milled. A little table top mill is about $350 and you just mill as you need, takes about 45 seconds to mill a pound of flour
FYI. I have used spelt for banana bread and pumpkin bread recipes and they were delicious 😋 Also used for pound cake.

I used spelt flour for focaccia bread. It turned out delicious.
We just made roti bread with spelt flour today. It did not taste any different from wheat roti. Thanks for the video
Wanderer- Fantastic you can now enjoy a healthier roti... send me your recipe as I would like to try it. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and comment. Peace. Vidal
I started grinding my own grains about a year ago - I buy from Azure Grains also. They're Great !!
Thank you!
Glad to listen to this information about spelt flour.

I have to say I make beautiful light fluffy bread with just Spelt flour but use fresh yeast I actived first, and that's in a machine
Spot on. Thanks.

How would you substitute almond and coconut flour in a recipe when spelt flour is called for?

Can I make fried chicken
