Spelt Flour

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration or freezing can extend shelf life and prevent spoilage.

Spelt flour absorbs liquid differently than all-purpose flour; you may need slightly more liquid in your recipes.

Its protein content can make doughs stronger, so be careful not to over-knead bread doughs.

It bakes into goods with a tender crumb and a slightly chewy texture.
