There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

475g spelt white flour
300ml warm water
12g fresh yeast
11g sea salt
16g butter
12g honey
  1. Dissolve yeast in water, then place all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix for 4 minutes on slow then 7-8 minutes on medium.
  3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm part of the kitchen or airing cupboard for 1 hour.
  4. Turn dough on to a lightly floured surface, knock-back by pressing down and expelling the gas in the form of an envelope fold, then return to the bowl, cover and return to a warm area for another 30 minutes.
  5. Turn out from the bowl and divide into 2 pieces weighing about 400g. Shape into a ball, cover dough with a tea towel and rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Shape into a log form and place in lightly oiled bread tins. Cover tins and leave to rise for 50 minutes - 1hr 5 minutes (bread should be nearly double in size).
  7. Pre-heat oven to 210C (410F).
  8. Dust tops of the loaves with a little spelt flour and then score the dough surface with a straight slash.
  9. Load bread into a hot oven, adjust oven temp to 190C and bake for 40-50 minutes.
  10. To add a bit more crust to your loaf, about 35 minutes into the bake, take loaves out of the tins then return back into oven for last 10-15 minutes.
