Spelt Sourdough

Made some spelt starter two weeks ago.

Today making spelt sourdough loaf.

The first rise.

Stretch and fold. The spelt is sure different handling than the whole wheat.

Looks good Rick. Interesting concept. What are/will be the differences between spelt and regular wheat sourdough? Pls, keep us in the loop with updates/photos.

This is only my 3rd loaf so im no expert but the spelt seems to be thinner than WW. It pulls easier though. Has a mild apple smell to the starter. The WW when i shaped it stayed pretty much in a ball, the spelt wants to flatten out. Will see tomorrow after the fridge rest overnight.

Thanks fer the likes.

Nice. Spelt is very low in gluten. Compared to modern wheat. I have some gluten free types in the family, one even has celiac. Very familiar with low and non gluten flour. It’s all a PITA.

How did the starter smell?
