However, the savvy bread maker will scoop up these specialty items and incorporate them into their bread. They know that these recipes are great and that using specialty flours can help stretch their supply of regular bread flour.

Talk about ancient grains, spelt was an important part of people’s diets in the Bronze Age! It’s mentioned in the bible. It also has a place in Greek mythology, as spelt was a gift to the Greeks from the goddess Demeter.

Spelt is a cereal grain in the wheat family. Some people may find spelt flour easier to digest than regular wheat flour.

It's a basic bread with an excellent flavour thanks to a long fermentation time and no need for a sourdough starter.

Overnight bread is a staple in my house and has been for years now. This version is a simplified recipe based off one of my most popular recipes, an overnight dark rye bread that’s common here in northern Europe.

Instead of including oats and cocoa powder to make it darker and denser, I’ve kept the ingredients list very short – just whole spelt flour, rye flour, water, salt, and yeast. Equal parts of spelt and rye give a great flavour without being overwhelming.

Spelt Sourdough Bread

I killed my sourdough starter early on in the summer by leaving it in the sun and haven’t started a new one yet. We’re currently house hunting in the Netherlands and I don’t want to move it around too much, so for now, overnight bread is the best option. And it’s a good one, too.

In fact, this overnight spelt rye bread is great for sandwiches (see this post for instructions on how to do an overnight bread in a loaf pan). I’ve been making it in a normal bread pan since moving to Germany because I don’t have a heavy enamel pot here and it’s great. You don’t get the same crust necessarily but it still has a great flavour and it’s even easier.

Using parchment paper in the pot makes the process easier in a few ways. You don’t need to worry about catching a hand on the very hot inner edge as you drop the bread in, or sticking if your pot is old, not enamelled, or you’re just a little worried about it.

You also don’t need to flour a kitchen towel, which invariably sticks to the dough and refuses to wash out. If you have a banneton it’s great to let the dough rise in there, then place it on the paper before dropping that into the pot. Otherwise I usually put the paper in a bowl, then scoop the dough out onto that, then drop it into the hot Dutch oven.
