Spelt Bread Rolls

Spelt is an ancestor of modern day wheat and is used as a healthier alternative when making wheat products. Spelt has high water solubility, so nutrients are easily absorbed by the body making it easy to digest. In comparison with other grains spelt has generally more vitamins and basic minerals.
