THE FOOD NANNY KAMUT BREAD RECIPE
Makes 2 regular (9 1/2 x 5 3/4 inch) loaves or 6 mini loaves
Ingredients
2 Tbsp active dry yeast 7 cups White Kamut flour, divided
3 cups warm water (105º F) 3 1/2 Tbsp melted butter or olive oil
2/3 cup honey, divided 1 Tbsp French gray coarse salt
1. First prepare a sponge with the flour. In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, warm water, 1/3 cup of honey, and 4 cups flour. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes (until doubled in size) in a warm, draft-free place.
2. Add 2.5 more cups flour along with 1/3 cup more honey, the melted butter, or olive oil, and salt. Mix well. Knead for at least 5 minutes. Add the last 1/2 cup flour if dough seems too sticky - 1 Tbsp at a time. Grease bowl, place dough in bowl and cover. Let rise for 30 minutes (until doubled in size) in a warm, draft-free place.
3. Preheat oven to 400º. Spray or butter the pans generously. Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles. Divide evenly and place in greased pans. Cover and let rise until doubled.
4. Place pans inside of the oven when dough is ready. Turn the temperature down to 350º and bake loaves for 30 minutes for large loaves, 25-30 minutes for medium loaves, or 17-18 minutes for minis. Loaves are done when bottom of bread is lightly browned. You can tilt the hot pan just enough to check the bottom. Do not over-bak.
5. When done, immediately remove loaves from pans and place loaves on cooking rack. If desired, brush loaves with butter.
We hope you will try this in your own home!

FAQ: IS KAMUT® FLOUR GLUTEN FREE?
Kamut® flour is NOT gluten-free, but has often been found to affect people differently than typical flour gluten. Some studies have shown that Kamut® flour and products might be more digestible for people who experience symptoms of gluten intolerance.
DISCLAIMER:
The Food Nanny DOES NOT claim Kamut® flour is okay for people with gluten intolerance issues or Celiac disease. Many customers with one or the other have commented that the gluten in Kamut® flour does not affect them. Individual results may vary.
