  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    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.

  6. 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."

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.
