Bingo! The very one I need!!!
The last time I read a reference to it, it was described as having been made
with spelt, so as my other choice would be standard modern whole wheat flour, I
will opt for the roman spelt first, and if it doesnt turn out well Ill revert to
modern wheat. I was wondering why the griddlecake/scone treatment? Couldn't I
just bake them? i am working on[well, to be exact I am having Rob do the labor]
a roman beehive oven in the back yard as part of the BBQ setup...and it does
strike me as the sort of baked good you would buy from a commercial baker.
Must strikes me as being a flavoring rather than a levening, as it doesnt come
out and say to let them rise, but as we all understand, they left things out
figuring you would know about the step...I think I will give it a try this week
and see what happens.
Now, any recipes for barley flour?
