100% Spelt Bread (Bread Machine) 2lb Loaf

From the UK website www.sharphampark.com converted to Imperial measures and slightly modified. Adjust the yield below to match your bread machine capacity. Personally, I make a 1 lb loaf in a Black & Decker bread machine designed for a 1-1/2 lb loaf. For a slightly different loaf, use 3 1/2 cups spelt flour and 1/2 cup quinoa flour. Note: The rapid bake cycle on my bread machine is approx. 2 hours long. I have noticed that some bread machines have a super rapid cycle of approx. 1 hour. I doubt this recipe would work on a super rapid cycle. (Note on nutrition values: the nutrition values for the spelt flour and almond milk are not included in the nutrition table. It appears Food.com does not have spelt flour and almond milk in their database.)
