How to Make Spelt Sourdough Bread (Or Whole Wheat!)
•Another difference? Spelt gluten is more fragile, so it requires less kneading. In the Bosch mixer, I knead for 6 minutes on speed 2 (newer models) OR 4 to 5 minutes on speed 3 (newer models). For older Bosch models, that corresponds to kneading on speed 2 for 4 to 5 minutes.
  •For whole hard red wheat, kneading time in the Bosch mixer is 8 to 10 minutes.
  •I keep my starter at a thin, pourable consistency. Because every person’s starter is going to be slightly different, be ready to adapt by adjusting flour or water amounts to suit the consistency of your starter. You want smooth, elastic, not sticky, but not dry dough.
Ingredients
  • 3 cups sourdough starter
  • 1 cup pure water
  • 1 generous tablespoon sea salt, to taste
  • 5 to 6 cups organic spelt flour, preferably fresh ground, but allowed to cool to room temperature
  • more whole spelt flour and pure water, for feeding the starter
  • extra virgin coconut oil OR butter, for oiling
