Re: Soft Spelt Flour...Advice Please..
Spelt is a lovely grain, an ancient grain and makes a nice loaf.However it can be very tricky. In the 2 artisan bakeries that I spent time working with, the spelt loaves were some of the trickiest to maintain consistency. There appears to be great variance in the amount of water (hydration level) that is needed to make the ideal dough so I guess each batch of flour can be different and ambient temperature is important to get right.
If you are serious about your bread making and want to improve and get lots of ideas there is really one primary outlet which is:
www.thefreshloaf.com
This is a huge forum of avid bread makers including novices, enthusiasts and very competent experts. You can gain massive experience from participating there and reading the material and putting up blogs of your bread, good or bad.
Pop over and put "spelt loaf" into the search box and you'll get lots of recipes.

Up to four hours (or less) later, your kitchen is filled with a wonderful aroma of fresh bread and a lovely loaf of bread!
The crust is lovely!
