Message: [QUOTE="Laurence, post: 46136, member: 6502"] Donald - sounds like you're suffering from the spelt-disease! Last year's harvest was particularly poor and it's tough to make even a half decent loaf from that flour. You might try adding a tip of a teaspoon of ascorbic acid (vitamin C ) - it works wonders. Also, spelt flour is very sensitive to over-mixing and you might try cutting down mixing time. I generally mix spelt for 4 mins and the loaves (until this year) have always turned out well. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
