Easy and Tasty Wholemeal Bread

So here's our newest bread video, and we think it's our best one yet. This bread is really fantastic, incredibly tasty, incredibly easy and very healthy! A complete joy to make and eat. The two crucial factors for this success are spelt flour and our kitchen aid machine. The organic wholemeal spelt flour we're using is incredible, so tasty, very light and easy to use. It makes for fantastic bread dough and is perfect for beginners. It also has less gluten than normal wheat bread so it might be an interesting option for people who have a gluten intolerance. 

Spelt flour is experiencing a real revival in the last two decades. It's actually a type of grain that was already used by the Romans and it is an incredibly hardy grain, that's why it's so often used in organic agriculture. But the yields are lower than modern wheat varieties so that's why it hasn't been very popular in the last 100 years. Anyway, it's an incredible flour to use and it's an incredible feeling to eat a type of bread that would have been similar to the bread the Romans ate thousands of years ago. We got our flour from Doves Farm in the UK and you can check out their website for more information:

The second important factor was using our kitchenaid! They aren't the cheapest piece of kit for the kitchen but they make homemade bread a real joy. Instead of kneading the dough by hand for 5-10 minutes, you just let the machine do it for you. Then you can proceed as you normally would, shaping the dough, letting it rise etc. It's such a quick, easy and clean way of preparing your dough for breadmaking.  

We hope you found this video interesting and useful! Thanks for watching!
