Gosh that came out just perfect Karen! Just lovely. I think it would work really well as a pan loaf. Appreciate the kind words!

Looking really great Amy. I would reduce the total bake time, it's a little too colored and it'll probably help the texture be a little softer, too. Also, try reducing the hydration just a touch, spelt will make the dough slack and lose some of that tight braid look. You're on the right track here!

I just noted to another commenter that I'd bake this on Thursday. Then, reheat it in a low oven on Friday!

Super glad to hear it worked well for you Rebecca!

Hey there! They are correct over here, I don't see a difference between the two flours at the Mix step.

Sounds like 400F is probably the sweet spot for most folks, I do tend to need to bake hotter here.

I would bake it Thursday then warm it in a low oven on Friday for the best flavor.

Yes, absolutely. I'd probably knock off maybe 10m to the bake time (but definitely double check this, I haven't tried!).

Hey there Rachel! Yes, you can certainly bulk (or even proof) the dough overnight at a cooler temp.
