Hi, I just came across this recipe and am interested to know if I could combine the spelt with wholewheat? Would I need to leave it to rise longer? I ask because I’m in Israel and the spelt is expensive and comes in 500g packs!!
Any response would be great!

I would let it rise until it doubles in size, between 1 to 2 hours, for the first rising and then for 30 more minutes after you shape it.

By 2 and 1/2 eggs, I mean 2 large whole eggs and 1 egg white (only).

So is there a specific way to mix it if using regular kitchenaid? how long is first and second rise? I’m asking because I know that spelt flour rises differently that wheat.

Sarrit answered your question with the following:

“It’s not a bread machine recipe…it’s just a recipe that can be kneaded and risen in a 2 lb bread machine…but that’s all I use the bread machine for to make my life easier…just to knead it and for it to rise. The shaping, second rising and baking I do in a conventional oven.”
