Description
Spelt flour is a valid alternative to common wheat flour, particularly appreciated for its nutritional values and for being naturally lower in gluten. Among the main benefits of spelt are its high fiber, vitamin, and mineral content, which aid digestion and contribute to overall well-being. Additionally, thanks to its balanced nutritional profile, spelt is an excellent choice for those who wish to diversify their diet without sacrificing taste. If you want to achieve more elastic and structured doughs, we recommend mixing spelt flour with type 0 (white wheat) flour, ideal for preparations such as cookies, cakes, focaccias, and flatbreads. A good starting point is a 50-50 blend, which can be adjusted according to the recipe's needs. Besides its nutritional advantages, spelt also has a balanced caloric content: the calories in spelt are similar to those in wheat, but with a better fiber and protein intake.
