Spelt Bread
Spread toasted spelt bread with a little tahini and honey, then sprinkle
with raisins.
Made from spelt—a so-called “ancient
grain”—spelt bread was initially formulated for people with allergies. The small amount of gluten in spelt is usually
tolerated by people who are sensitive to wheat or wheat
gluten. Spelt bread is usually denser and drier than wheat bread, but has a similar flavor—slightly
nutty and sweet.
Varieties
Spelt bread is available in rolls and loaves of various shapes and sizes.
Buying and storing tips
Buy spelt bread in the refrigerated- or frozen-foods section of health food stores or
supermarkets. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a few days.
Availability
Spelt bread is available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Spelt bread’s taste is greatly improved by toasting. Spread toasted spelt bread with
a small amount of tahini (sesame seed
butter) and honey, then sprinkle with
raisins.
