This sourdough bread was made with spent sprouted spelt I sieved from my beer. I am astounded by how good it is. The crumb is so soft and the flavour really deep.

It feels incredibly good to have sprouted the spelt, made bread with it, made beer with the bread and now be making bread again with the big grains I sieved out. To watch the process come full circle in my hands has been a wonder.

In addition to the big sprouted spelt berries used here, I also had another type of sieved ‘waste’ that was much finer, like soaked flour. This isn’t gong to waste either – I’ve got porridge plans for it.

I’ve podcast news too – finally we are on iTunes! If you use iTunes, go ahead and look for us – Ancestral Kitchen – we’re real :-) Thank you to my hubby for helping me navigate the Apple world from a non-Apple device. I’m showing my gratitude to him by dedicating my first batch of spelt beer to him :-)
