Home made spelt bread (with help from a bread machine). This one is 40% kamut, 40% spelt. and 20% rye, and i threw an egg into the mix, it tastes like a savoury cake, delicious.

Breakfast time here, can I have a thick slice please

[Mr Tattie Heid]

Wouldn't 40% spelt bread be "br"?

BTW what's kamut? (if you pardon my ignorance)

Got the baking machine all cleaned and ready - just waiting for a descision on what to bake in it

[Pete Smoke]

It's a wholegrain ancient wheat, very tasty, as you know you need gluten to make bread, kamut has gluten in it, for me it's the best alternative to white bread flour. Even though it's wholemeal it has a light (yellowish) colour.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I'm telling you.

Thanks Pete - but I admit I've cheated a bit and googled already. And found it in my local Coop. Looking forward to try it together with a spelt/emmer flour. Didn't get any rye though, maybe I can use wholemeal wheat flour instead?

A buddy of mine said that you should use some bacon with that fancy bread, Pete.

You can use any flour you like. I made one with some barley flour recently, even soya flour. You just got to make sure you have enough gluten in there, rye, barley, and spelt are very low in gluten and are best mixed with a gluten rich flour. White flour is the richest but i avoid it and seek more flavoursome alternatives.

Black market pork! Better watch your back. Now you just need to find the guy with the Scotch.

At that distance you don't need the disguise Bud.

Eerie, though, isn't it? He looks just like a cloud in the shape of a smiling whale.

Quit these drugs and get back to whisky

I take it back--it's a sturgeon.

That small dark cloud looks uncannily like a small dog...

Even Cow Parsley is cute with the macro.

Lovely photos, Pete. Nice to see some green color for change. Way too much brown around where I am right now.

Been meaning to upload these for a while. Digital camera died so have been pissing about with effects on me phone, some I think are quite nice.
