A nice looking loaf, George. Quite a complex recipe with a Kochstueck and a Bruhstueck. It's  been a while since I baked one of his recipes.

I think his Kirsch Brot was the last one I did....

I've seen comments by other German bakers that he is a bit heavy on the yeast, so a good move to use Hefewasser instead.

Thanks Lance. I don't even use yeast or have it in the house just wild yeast water ,which is easy to make and use and best of all, I think the bread tastes the better for using yeast water too.  This bread really has wonderful flavor and makes the most of the earthy character of spelt.

that is a truly special bread, GQ. Thanks for sharing it.

I didn't trust it, all the way until I pulled it from the oven, and, not being able to wait, sliced into it. Lightly sour, lightly sweet, lightly nutty, with the softest crumb imaginable and a succulent & crispy crust.

Great bake Rob! I know the anxiety about this bread too. There is a lot of measuring and fermenting and soaking and scalding and wondering (on my part) how all these pieces will fit together. But it is a delicious bread. I was concerned that the rye would overwhelm the spelt but it is a nice compliment .

Thanks Benny! I guess that is what makes Suepke such a wonderful baker-he has an educated eye on flavor!
