You may have to reduce the bake time some if you do this. Maybe someone else can think of something I'm forgetting. <b>Carol</b> - I haven't tried soy flour but spelt flour is very high in protein. Have you seen this <a href="http://www.breadtopia.com/spelt-bread-recipe/" rel="nofollow">100% Spelt Sourdough Recipe</a>? Beautiful bread, Lorri! And I love that print on the wall too.

Your videos are so helpful and the recipes I've tried have been fabulous! I've just whipped up the Steel Cut Oats NKB and will bake it tomorrow. We're just finishing up the Seeded Sour and it was wonderful! Have you experimented with adding Soy flour to up the protein? If so, can you direct me to any recipes or comments you've shared? Thank you again! Carol Hi Eric,

It´s amazing! I made my first Sourdough Bread a 2 months ago. I got a delicios Bread and a sturdy and dark bottom Crust. Here in Brazil it´s not easy to find Spelt Flour, so I used whole wheat flour. I baked 30 min with closed lid and 15 more without it in 250 degs C. Unfortunately a didn´t get a sturdy and TOP Crust. So I ask you. What could be the variables to get a Sturdy and Hard Top Crust? I tried to vary the temperature, time, humidity, flour proportions, but I don´t get my wished Sturdy and Hard Top Crust yet. Thank you very much Eric and sorry about my english! Hi Eric,

The "Add an Image" feature of this comments area (see just below) was down for a while but it should be functioning now. Can you add a photo or two here for all to see? Hi Lorri,

It is truly delicious. I did not have spelt flour, so I have substituted that by the whole wheat flour. And I baked the bread on the baking stone. That was on Sunday, and today, Thursday, it is still very good. I am not new to your site, having previously used your recipe for sourdough pizza. Which, by the way, also turned out perfect. So I thank you for this wonderful site and the recipes! Eric,
