I adapted this from the famous Jim Lahey/New York Times no-knead Dutch oven bread recipe. It produces an easy (if time-consuming) loaf with a hint of sourdough flavor that goes well with basically anything, but especially soup. I have wanted to buy my own enameled Dutch oven ever since. No-knead Spelt Bread Yield: one 8 […]

I made around Christmas time last year to go with pulled pork, and I was surprised with how well they turned out. These would be great for small-ish hamburgers as well (or you could just make 8 of them instead of 12 to accommodate larger burgers. Airy spelt dinner rolls Yield: 12 rolls Adapted from […]
