Whole Spelt Sourdough Bread

I made my first sourdough bread today that rose well and tastes great! From just a tablespoon of starter, I fed my pet until...Voila!

To begin, all you need is a tablespoon of active sourdough or you can mix 1 tbsp. freshly ground whole spelt flour with 1/2 tbsp. of water and some plant enzyme. Ferment it until it is bubbly and smells sour.

I ground my own flour from spelt kernels, and then I followed the instructions on the Sourdough Home webpage (www.sourdoughhome.com/100percentwholewheat.html). The only change I made from the recipe was to add 1/8 tsp. of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). I also left out the optional vital wheat gluten.
