The first recipe I'm going to share with you is for White Spelt Bread.  Spelt has similar benefits to Whole Wheat but is higher in protein and easier to digest.  At least, those two are the most beneficial for my daughter anyway.  Also, White Spelt Bread taste very similar to white bread.  I've noticed it is more crumbly than store bought bread but my daughters have no problem eating it and that's what's important.  Neither one of them will eat Whole Wheat Bread.

Spelt Bread - Makes 2 loaves

4 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
1 Tbsp White Cane Sugar
6 to 7 cups Spelt Flour (Mine usually takes 6 to 6 1/2)
2 cups warm water (110 degrees)
1 Tbsp Salt

1. Stir yeast and sugar, gradually adding warm water.  Add about half of the flour and the salt and beat well.  Add the remainder of the flour gradually to acquire a stiff dough.  
2. Knead 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Put dough into a buttered bowl and turn once to butter surface.  Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled, keeping it between 80 and 90 degree F during the entire time of rising.  Takes about 2 hours to double in size.
4. Punch down dough with your fist and divide into two parts.  Kneed and shape into 2 loaves and place into greased loaf pans.  Cover again and allow dough to rise to the top of the pans.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F or 50 minutes.

I was able to find Organic White Spelt Flour in my local Health Food section of my grocery store.
