Oh, it's not that bad. Spelt flour makes a good stand-in for wheat. I
don't bake nearly as much though, as it's 10 times the price.

The gluten-free options are getting much better (and more numerous)
every week, though.

Hmmmmmmmm, no wonder an organic wholemeal spelt (Vienna) loaf cost me $5 at
the Salamanca Markets!!

Yep, that'd do it. I pay about 80c/kg for wheat flour, and about $8/kg
for spelt.

DH bought at Trader Joes' in CT, USA, this week a loaf of 100% organic
spelt - I believe it was about $2.30 -- sliced thin and holds together well.
I freeze it and bring out a slice occasionally for toast and a little jam.
A different treat for me, kinda reminds me of a linzer torte taste.
