ivor - it sounds excellent. I'll give those a go sometime. I've also been told that if you go to the bakery counter at some Sainsburys, they have fresh yeast that they'll sell you - there are no signs apparently, you have to ask. Who knows if it applies in the FH one? If not I'll try the place in Crystal Palace that you mentioned.

The spelt recipe looks good too - my baking cupboard is running out of room for flours though at the moment.

annsquire66 - I'll back up girl_canuck. The sourdough bread is far easier on my digestion than any supermarket wholemeal/granary ever was. Far less bloating and I eat more bread now than I did back then. Good luck with finding a recipe that suits for your daughter.
