I have been experimenting with spelt and other alternative flours. This was probably the best bread I've made using them so far, so I must say this is a very versatile recipe. I subbed spelt for the all purpose flour and oat flour for the whole wheat flour and I subbed in flax, sesame, and pumpkin seeds for the wheat germ, and it still turned out well. I'm sure it would be fabulous using the all purpose flour, but that's something we try to avoid. I'll keep experimenting, but this is a nice hearty bread, made as I did. Made for PAC Fall 2012.
