Notes

Alternatives to Spelt Flour

Spelt flour has a mild, nutty flavor, but if it's not available, here are a few substitutes:
  1. All-Purpose Flour - Works well for a similar texture, though it's not as nutrient-rich.
  2. Whole Wheat Flour - Adds a slightly denser texture and nuttier flavor.
  3. Oat Flour - Gluten-free and gives a soft, slightly crumbly texture.
  4. Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour - A good option for those with gluten sensitivities, ensuring similar results.
For oil-free: use a very good non-stick pan.
