Since it has not to keep any particular shape it might as well work out. I did some experimenting regarding the durum and if it works out (should know this evening) I will post about it for sure. <BR/>I even tried to find durum here but I could Astridhttp://foodblog.paulchens.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35589098.post-1308410690775755142009-03-28T20:47:00.000+01:002009-03-28T20:47:00.000+01:00Hi Astrid sorry for the late answer, maybe you alr...Hi Astrid sorry for the late answer, maybe you already finished making it?<BR/>I'd probably just substitute the same amount with the flour you use, but haven't tried it with spelt (as I presume you're using spelt?)<BR/>hope it went alright anywayLienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355494414772149750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35589098.post-89295655822595122422009-03-27T06:31:00.000+01:002009-03-27T06:31:00.000+01:00Lien, if I can't use wheat what would be a suitabl...Lien, if I can't use wheat what would be a suitable alternative for durum?<BR/>This one is the last bread on my BBB Breads list I haven't made yet and I wanted to do it for the weekend but have no idea what I could use for durum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35589098.post-35374087953188723472008-03-25T20:50:00.000+01:002008-03-25T20:50:00.000+01:00I think I will try this again, Lien!

Winter is really hanging on here (yet more snow is falling now). But the long term forecasters claim that it will start to warm up next week so perhaps I'll make my third (lucky, with fingers crossed) attempt then.<BR/><BR/>-Elizabeth<BR/><BR/>P.S.

A few years ago when I tried this for the first time I used 25 g, it didn't have much effect on the outcome it's just oversalty!<BR/>It's all in the flour with this bread, and in working it enough to develope the gluten to hold all that water in.<BR/>But I agree it's not the easiest of recipes!Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355494414772149750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35589098.post-30261837556114477692008-03-25T00:17:00.000+01:002008-03-25T00:17:00.000+01:00Did you change the amount of salt?
