Great bread made with some small tweaks--2 cups spelt flour and 1 cup of bread flour, butter instead of oil, and a teaspoon of gluten. Yum!

I make this nearly every week. Couple things I did differently for a better rise: 2 tsp xanthum gum, 1/4 tsp ginger powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast. I get a really high rising spelt bread. Just like a regular wheat bread. Sometimes, I omit the honey and just use sugar and put a tablespoon or so of water if it looks dry. Also, I dont use milk powder. :-) Hope this helps someone.

SUPER light and fluffy. I added 3 teaspoons Vital Wheat Gluten and increased Lecithin to 1 teaspoon. Additionally, I allowed the yeast to soak in 1 cup of 100 degree water for 10 minutes before beginning the machine... I will be making this recipe again! (It came out perfectly on "Basic" setting for 1 1/2 pound loaf).

The bread tasted very good. I substituted 1/2 an egg yolk for the lecithin. the loaf didn't rise very much. Is that from the spelt or did i do something wrong? I'm going to try using some vital wheat gluten next time i make it.

When I followed the recipe exactly, it came out a bit dry but much better than other recipes I've tried. Next time I added 1/4 C more water, 2 T butter, and for taste and health benefits I changed the veggie oil to walnut oil. Came out perfect - so tasty and moist!

I've tried this recipe twice. Once with the regular recipe and one with everyone's suggestions. Both loaves came out hard and unedible.

This recipe worked great in my bread machine. I used Bob's Red Mill Spelt Flour. The bread was light and smelled wonderful. It had a nice sweet crust. I loved it. I used sunflower oil and brown sugar and it was great. I may try to use applesauce instead of oil the next time.

Came out very yummy and fluffy! I doubled the lecithin, subbed whole spelt for white spelt, and subbed dried coconut milk for dry milk powder. I also took someone's advice and activated the yeast in the water and honey before adding to the bread maker.
