W
hite spelt flour, also known as gourmet wheat flour, contains significantly lower levels of gluten and is therefore more easily digestible for those who are sensitive to ordinary wheat flour. White spelt flour is often used as the base for many non-wheat breads, such as raisin bread, potato bread, and herb bread, and you can substitute white spelt flour for bread flour in other recipes. Because spelt is technically not gluten-free, it should not be consumed by anyone diagnosed with celiac disease. This is a good basic bread even if you are not on a special diet.
