THE WONDERS OF SPELT FLOUR

Spelt flour is wondrous stuff.

Our lives are filled with foods made from wheat, and each one can be made with spelt (with small modifications to the recipe). There are a couple of good reasons for substituting spelt flour for wheat, not least its great taste and the benefits of adding a variety of grains into your diet.

Many people turn to spelt in search of a healthier diet but they keep eating it because it tastes so good.

Bread made with spelt flour makes a delicious, light loaf, similar in colour and texture to light rye bread but with a slightly sweet and nutty flavour. Artisan bakers, predominantly interested in taste and texture, are embracing spelt flour as they strive to produce the perfect loaf. Spelt flour produces excellent results in baking. It’s worth trying at home.
