2 spelt pan loaves crammed inside a lidded roasting pan

This was a fun outcome. I tried out my new petite Fat Daddy loaf pans and they do fit into my roasting pan side by side,  thanks to the vertical sides and small rolled rims. The loaves merged together where the pans touched.

I preheated the roasting pan sitting on top of a pizza stone in the oven. Final shaped panned proof was only 15 minutes. I loaded them into the roasting pan, sprayed then with water,  and put the lid on.

This is the best oven spring I've gotten. The flour was 100% freshly milled spelt. No sifting.

I'll upload a crumb shot once I cut one open.

I am very happy with this result.

And it tastes yummy too. Can't go wrong with the flavor of 100% fresh milled spelt. I'm sending the 2nd loaf home with the college kids who's been home visiting for the weekend.

Thank you Sue! It was honestly a delightful surprise to open the roasting pan and see that big oven spring.  So fun. This was the first time I used that particular oven setup but it definitely won't be the last.

That is a gorgeous crumb especially since these loaves are 100% spelt.  Excellent bake Jess.
