I baked this loaf yesterday morning with some spelt flour I received form Tasmania, Australia.I toasted up a slice this morning and it really has a nice flavor.
I have been experimenting with spelt lately too. I like how adding a bit makes my whole grain dough handle when shaping.
If you ever want to try a 100% Spelt loaf that is a favorite around here you might check out JuergenKrauss' blog where he posted one several years ago that is wonderful.
Sadly, no, it's not available here in the US. The flour was a thank you gift from Graham & son at Companion Bakery in Oatlands Tasmania. I wrote a review of of two Bay area bakeries for their blog at Sourdough.com.
I received 1 kilo of the spelt and two kilo's of the wheat flour light sifted. The flour is some of the nicest flour I've ever used. I wish I could obtain more of the flour but shipping from Australia makes it really expensive flour.
Great baking all the way around.
Sure it tastes as good as it looks
What a gorgeous looking loaf. I can almost taste it, it looks that good.
Thanks for the kind comments!
That is such A beautiful crust ! I am enjoying the ears on your baby :). That probably tastes wonderful.
Warm regards,

Casey & Janet, Thank you both for the comments. The loaf has a nice subtle almost nutty flavor.
Thanks Janet for the heads up on the whole spelt bread recipe, I will look for it.
So was that Tasmanian spelt flour available in the US?

The flour is from Callington Mill, which is across the street from Companion Bakery. The mill is a restored !800's Georgian windmill.
