Awesome "soaked" bread recipe *update pics*

[Dandelionkid]

I just posted this in another thread and felt like I should share. This is the only recipe I use now and I use 100% spelt and it is SO good. I love that it has no need of dough enhancers or gluten. After one or two practice tries I get a high loft and soft, even crumb every time. My kids even prefer it to store-bought bread. (Wow do I ever sound like an advertisement

Dandelionkid, Your breads look sooo good! : I just got the bosch compact on a clearance sale but I have to get the kneading blade for that. Would love to give this bread a try - maybe I'll half this recipe.

Do you use the exact recipe or did you have to reduce the water a bit? Also did you use fresh ground spelt flour or store bought one? I have store bought wholespelt flour and wonder if it would give the same results.

I have a soaked yeasted bread recipe but that has added gluten flour and I'd lvoe to move away from it and have good and additive free bread.

Thanks so much! You made my day by commenting on the pics. I am NOT a baker, or wasn't one, before the bosch so I am just so amazed at the kind of success I am having with it.
To answer your question- I used the exact amt of water- followed the recipe completely and I did grind my flour. I don't think that matters though-I think the bosch kneading blade really gets good gluten development making for a soft, well-rising dough. It did take a little practice to really get the feeling for how much flour to add. Good luck with the recipe- let me know if it turns out for you!

Thanks Dandelionkid. In case it helps, I showed the bread pictures to DH yesterday and he said 'OMG! It looks so good! Is she a baker? (meaning professional baker!)'

I'm going to call Bosch as soon as they open today and order the kneading blade.
