Are ancient grains better for you? The surprising truth about quinoa and spelt.
Is the hype around the health benefits of ancient grains justified?
Scientists say it’s not as clear-cut as you might think.

After trying unsuccessfully to #veganize my mom's coffee cake recipe, I've now made the #vegan #CoffeeCake from #NoraCooks a handful of times and every time people have liked it a lot.
https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-coffee-cake/
I modify the recipe slightly by substituting #wholegrain #spelt #flour for the all-purpose flour and reducing the #brownsugar in the topping by a bit.

Trying this recipe out tomorrow. It looks good - mushroom speltotto! #cooking #spelt #speltotto

I found this great piece about #AcornBread -- written by a friend who I learned to make acorn bread from!
by Chris Knapp"In autumn, all over the world, something wonderful happens: The acorns fall.
"The oak seed, which once sustained the bulk of human civilization, is now largely ignored as a food. Not so at our #Koviashuvik Local Living School (in #TempleME), where every fall my family, friends, apprentices and I spend three wonderful mornings crawling around in the nearby red oak grove picking up acorns. We are not playing; we are making a living and playing.
"This article offers a practical guide to processing acorns, a glance at the crop’s agricultural implications, and a chance to change the world – for as with any food or product, its conscious production and consumption create powerful opportunities for social and environmental change.
Using Acorns
"My family eats acorns in a variety of ways and uses 200 pounds of acorn flour a year. All our acorns come from the red oak, Quercus rubra, as that is our local oak. All acorns – whether from red or white oaks – are edible and all acorns contain enough tannin that leaching is a necessity.
"Our daily bread is a delicious blend of 60 percent acorn and 40 percent sourdough #spelt from the Webb Family Farm in #PittstonME. We make #AcornOatmeal #porridge twice a week for breakfast with 50 to 75 percent acorn. My kids, ages 4 and 2, eat it right up!
"We make biscuits and cookies. I like a dense, 95 percent acorn flat bread held together with 5 percent soaked ground #flax. For a basic biscuit recipe that will please anyone, combine 2 cups of acorn flour with 1 cup of oat flour, add 2 tablespoons of good fat and 1/2 teaspoon salt. (For fat we use Maine-grown sunflower oil or lard.) Add water to make a moist but not runny batter. Form the batter into biscuits and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375 F. Will Bonsall ate a whole bowl of these crackers when we shared them with him."

Frozen sourdough
Before we went on vacation I froze my starter. This is now the first bake with the thawed starter.
It got refreshed 4 times and as the picture shows, quite a good rise.
The picture also shows that my shaping has room for improvement.

Spelt baguette
As is often the case with me when I use spelt flour, the dough is too soft, at the end of the bag it will be fine, and then I’ll forget to write down the recipe, so next time I buy spelt flour I have to start again.

Dear friends of #Spelt Toast,
… as sum know spelled rite, every breakfast will improve our bio-home or #biome. That is why #uncooked seeded bread can be #plant aid and planted. This organicised #vegan #multipurpose #growing food will allow for our survival. Now to be fair I had a best thing since sliced bread, toasty breakfast with churned cow juice. Added sauerkraut. 😋
Added a pot of #moringa teabag blended with decaff tea bag. Ready! -
Da heute die Schule wieder losgeht und die Kinder ja Schulbrot brauchen, habe ich gestern etwas größer gebacken. Ich nenne es den Back-to-School-Boulder.
Ist ein Dinkelsauerteigbrot mit 2/3 Dinkelvollkornmehl und 1/3 Ruchmehl; zwei alte Weizenbrötchen als Brühstück, dazu Salz, Öl, Malz und Rübensirup.
Richtig gut.#leckeressen #shotonfairphone #deliciousfood #sauerteig #sauerteigbrot #dinkel #dinkelbrot #vollkorn #sourdough #sourdoughbread #wholegrain #spelt #speltbread

CW: Spelt wholemeal bread (vegan)
So I wanted to make a very soft 100% spelt wholemeal sourdough bread. I achieved this by scalding 20% of the flour (which is quite a lot), and by also adding 20% (in baker's percentage) of spelt flakes. I also added some raisins, which made the bread a bit sweeter. The overall hydration of the bread was 82%, but the dough didn't feel that wet!
About 15% of the flour was in the sourdough (75% hydration) starter, which is quite a lot for long fermentation, but the dough developed nicely in the fridge. The bulk fermentation was from Monday noon until Monday night; then I shaped the dough and let it proof in the ceramic baking mould over night. Surprisingly, the bread had quite an oven spring; it even touched the lid of the baking mould.
I really loved the deep brown colour of the crust and the very soft, uniformly pored crumb with the spongy texture typical for high-hydration wholemeal bread. Much more than the raisins, however, I appreciated the added spelt flakes (which were of the kind Rotdinkel, I think, which has a distinctive nutty taste). Perhaps the bread would also have worked with olives or even with grated carrots.
