Slow Spelt

Since the pan version went well, I wanted to see how spelt would handle a longer, slower preferment treatment. The results were good, but this needs work.

I used Maggie Glezer's slow rise, whole wheat challah as a jumping off point. I just swapped in 100% whole grain spelt.

The balance of the ingredients are the same as the pan version. Not quited doubled in 4 hours but I didn;t want to over do it.

The shaped loaves proofed in about 2 hours.

The crumb needs work. Maybe a little more water? The flavor was really big. I like this stuff so I'm going to play on.
