This whipped spelt bread is called “whipped” because you beat the dough at high speed for fermentation and the resulting bread is full of flavor. The flavor of this bread outweighs the geeky desire to get lots of holes in the crumb of my loaves. Spelt has a wonderful nutty flavor and produceds an pretty soft crumb.
