Milled with the bran, germ, and endosperm fully intact, this flour brings depth, sweetness, and vitality to doughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpelt is naturally high in \u003cstrong\u003eamylase\u003c\/strong\u003e, an enzyme that helps convert starches into sugars—the very fuel yeast and sourdough cultures thrive on. When added to a recipe, spelt can help doughs ferment more actively, creating a lighter, more effervescent crumb and deeper flavor over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its subtly sweet, nutty taste and soft gluten structure, spelt performs best with gentle mixing and shorter kneading.
