I've found that the only way is too only use half spelt and half regular flour

I've heard adding a little xanthum gum goes a long way to adding fluff. Good luck!

I use 100% whole grain spelt flour and BH it comes out very fluffy. I use dry yeast. I make mine in a mixer, let it rise til it's very puffy - at least an hour if not more.
I don't knead the dough instead I take 1 piece at a time and squeeze it down to make the strand instead of rolling it out. By squeezing the dough you're taking out the excess air which is what causes the challah to become heavy.
Hope this helps IY'H. Hatzlocho!

I add seltzer for half the water. I have never had a problem with dense challah.

I make spelt challa rolls regularly. They are not fluffy, but they are quite tasty, and it is a very easy dough to work with.
Here is the recipe I have been using for some time:
Into large bowl put:
3 tablespoons dry yeast
1 cup sugar
4.5 cups warm water
Add to this:
5 lbs sifted white spelt flour
1/4 cup oil
1 tablespooon salt.
Mix by hand until it is a dough. Cover and let rise. In less than hour, it will be risen enough to make into challa. I usually make some twisted rolls for Shabbos, (round ones for the first 3 weeks of Tishrei) and plain rolls for the rest of the week. Put the rolls on a cookie sheet with plenty of room in between them to allow them to rise. Paint with egg, and bake at about 375 degrees until they are done.

Ur not supposed to let spelt rise too much- and I smear it with a little oil while its rising. I also keep a pan of water in the oven floor while its baking. This keeps the oven moist and prevents it from drying out/ getting hard.
