Vivat!
another convert to spelt!!!!
Next, try 75%spelt, 25% whole wheat flour...I am having fun blending now, spelt
being rather expensive. I love spelt bread, and mustcakes and have even done it
mixed with semolina in pasta. It is a shame that america is stuck on wheat,
there is so much more flavor to spelt,
