I do all my baking with spelt flour as spelt is a huge amount easier to digest than modern wheat flour (see here). If the digestion struggles, the tissues of the body don’t get nourished and diseases begin to materialise; so a good reason to use spelt!
To make self-raising spelt flour, just add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to 150g (6 oz or 1 cup) of white spelt flour.

Can you use wholemeal spelt instead of white?

I’m sorry it took a while to respond, this went to spam for some reason. I haven’t tried it with wholemeal but I’d think you could try it but would need more baking powder than in the recipe. Enjoy!
