Although spelt still contains gluten, many people find that it's easier to deal with than other gluten flours. They also taste great and are so simple to whip up! These took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients:
250g wholemeal spelt flour
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
150ml almost boiling water
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the oil - stir well and then slowly add the water, stirring all the time. When the mixture starts to look doughy rather than 'flaky', use your hands to knead for around two minutes.
Cover with a wet tea towel and leave for around 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet pan or heavy frying pan. Tear a small piece of dough from the ball and roll out into a flat disc on a floured board. Ideally make the disc as thin as you can without tearing.
Add a little spray oil or olive oil to the pan using kitchen roll to spread. Cook a flat bread for about 1 minute each side.
Serve with dips of your choice (hummus, babaganoush, tzatziki, taramasalata). You could also add spices like chilli or paprika, or herbs such as rosemary to your dough.
