things people ask

• How many grams in a cup of spelt flour?
  About 99 g for a cup of spelt flour, spooned into the cup and leveled with the back of a knife. Dipping the cup into the bag will pack the flour and push you closer to 115-120 g, which is enough to stiffen a spelt scone or biscuit dough noticeably. Use the same scoop method every time, or weigh.
• Can I substitute spelt flour 1:1 for whole-wheat in a recipe?
  For most quick breads, biscuits, and rustic loaves, yes — both run around 99-113 g per cup, and spelt's nutty flavor reads as a softer cousin of whole-wheat. The catch is gluten: spelt's gluten is more fragile, so cut kneading time roughly in half. Sourdough bakers often need slightly less water because spelt absorbs differently than hard red wheat.
• Does spelt flour pack down like all-purpose flour?
  Yes, and arguably more so because whole spelt carries bran flakes that nest together when compressed. A scoop-and-shake cup of spelt can hit 120 g instead of 99 g — a 20% overshoot that turns a tender muffin into a dense one. Spoon it loosely into the cup or, better, weigh 99 g per cup the recipe calls for.
