Spelt flour is my recent favourite, i accidently picked a packet of spelt flour instead of gluten free flour. But trust me, though i did a mistake, i seriously enjoy baking out some incredible bakes with this very ancient grains. Spelt is known as hulled wheat which is a species of wheat cultivated since a long. Spelt flour breads are important staple in few parts of Europe since bronze age. As much as like Wheat, barley and rye, Spelt is also a gluten grain. You might have know about gluten, its a protein that gives breads and other baked goodies their texture. Obviously spelt flour replace very well whole wheat or whole grain flour in most of the breads. Spelt is an excellent healthy whole grain, eating spelt in your diet gives the fiber content. Fibre is essential for healthy digestive system. Hence spelt flour may be very much helpful as a part of weight loss diet. Spelt flour contains little more protein than the usual wheat. Keep in your mind, that spelt flour is not suitable for a gluten free dieting people.
Spelt works awesome for baking some breads or dinner rolls easily and its really very interesting to work with this flour. I loved baking Hamburger buns with spelt flour and enjoyed those buns for our dinner with some grilled meats. Since we loved this buns, i couldnt stop myself baking out again with spelt flour. Hence i gathered all the ingredients to bake out some easy dinner rolls rather than sticking with some shaped breads.To bring more nuttiness to this incredible dinner rolls, i went on adding some mixed seeds to this easy breezy dinner rolls. These bread rolls are going to be a part of Bake-a-thon, a yearly baking event we usually run every year during december. And we Bake-a-thoners will be posting three bakes per week on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. And am copping up with usual blogging marathon along with Bake-a-thon.
