Notes

Disclaimer: I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that as I have not made the recipe with these measurements, results cannot be totally guaranteed.
You can use regular or even gluten free flour in place of spelt flour without any need to alter the other ingredients (I have made this recipe with all of them).
