Mehrkornbrot with whole grains: spelt, rye, wheat

Toast

 

 

A variant of my usual bake.  Whole spelt, whole rye, whole wheat and all purpose flours. Formula according to Tom Cat's semolina Filone.  

 

Added simmered wheat and spelt berries.

 

baked 45 minutes at 435F and 35 minutes at 365F.

 

 

Overall a tasty loaf.  The addition of whole wheat and corresponding reduction of all purpose brings a new flavor to the loaf.  The whole wheat tang covers some of the spelt's nuttiness.  I enjoy the flavor and texture of spelt so will return next bake to the all purpose, whole rye and whole spelt combination.

 

The whole wheat added more structure to the dough and handling was easier.  

 

Moisture distribution was a bit more even than the versions with no whole wheat. The hotter and slightly longer bake helped with this I believe. 

I love the taste of Spelt. It adds such a nice flavour to whatever you are making. Well done!
