Spelt Flour: Uses, Flavor and Better Baking Tips

Spelt is an ancient wheat valued for its gently sweet, nutty flavor. It can bring whole-grain character to breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies, and everyday baking.

How to bake with spelt flour

Spelt dough often develops quickly, so mix only until the dough is cohesive and monitor hydration before adding more liquid. When trying it for the first time, replace a portion of your usual flour and adjust based on texture.
