RE: Homemade hot dog and hamburger buns!
Nice! I like making my own buns too. Do you freeze them? I will have to see if spelt flour is available around here. Inever tried it.

Yes, I freeze them. When I read your comment I went on the mighty google to read up on what makes spelt different than wheat, but I found info that I didn't expect. When and if you try spelt, read up on how to use it. I remembered I had issues when I started using spelt flour, I got some loaf pans because the dough was way to loose. The strange part is, I don't have that issue anymore. The dough doesn't get as firm with spelt, but nothing like when I started and being me I just never thought of it. Now I can't figure out why! Maybe how the flour is milled and I know every brand I tried are slightly different. I did try some whole grain spelt, but I prefer sifted organic stoneground. I also read that it doesn't rise as wheat. I can't find any reason other than the amount of yeast we use. Sorry, I didn't think of the difference!
Well I don't think I will be using spelt flour. I checked our local grocery store and they are selling a kilogram (2.2 lb) for 22.50! That would make some mighty expensive buns. They sure don't make it affordable to eat healthy here ☹️
Do you mean 22,50 in CAD?
yes I am in N.S. I know our dollar is worth less...but still, compared to white flour which is about 9.00 for 10 kg...over 20 lbs. I just can't justify the high cost of the organic spelt 😳
If the exchange to our swedish kronor is correct it's so much more than I pay for spelt. It means I pay about 75% less and I still think that's expensive.
