        Thanks @neversummer for sharing your recipe… when I get my Spelt-Starter a bit more lively I will try it...

                Worked out pretty well and no harm in trying.

                I added Roasted garlic oil to my last batch and it killed the rise. I obliterated to loaves of sourdough. I've always worked in places with a baking and pastry chef so my expertise isn't in breads and pastries. Add to that my short attention span and dislike for reading and following directions, and well, see the above result of bread. Having another go at it today. However i'm starting with basic flour as I limit my store trips, and have to make a special trip for quality flour (one issue with the U.S. is most people prefer All Purpose flour for flavor and texture.

                            I'm so envious of how you can open the double doors out onto the back garden.  That kitchen really is lovely.

                                            @ everyone- breads look amazing! Really cool to see so many of us around the world baking and sharing photos. If only we could share the bread!
                                            @Chap interesting- that did not happen to mine, no idea what would cause that. What did you think of working with spelt?
