Spelt Flour Sourdough Loaf~ Eggless (Tangzhong Method)

on

I like to use Tangzhong method to make sandwich. The loaf is soft and fluffy. 😘

I added some spelt flour in this recipe. Spelt flour has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor, similar to that of whole wheat flour. It has slightly fewer calories than wheat flour and is somewhat higher in protein. Beside, spelt is high in phosphorus which helps your body maintain its desired alkaline state. And even though it's not gluten-free, it may be easier to digest for those who are gluten-sensitive.

Whole wheat spelt flour gives this loaf extra points for nutrition! Spelt is high in fiber, protein, zinc, iron, and other vitamins and minerals.

Please keep in mind, spelt is low in gluten, so it's best to keep some of that regular flour to get the right structure and texture in whatever you're baking.
