Dinkelmehl 630
What it is
Dinkelmehl 630 is a finely milled flour made from spelt, a type of ancient wheat. It is known for its slightly nutty flavor and is a popular choice for baking. The '630' refers to its ash content, indicating a moderate level of bran and germ, which contributes to its unique texture and taste compared to highly refined flours. This flour is a versatile staple for many kitchens.

When baking with Dinkelmehl 630, you can often substitute it directly for all-purpose wheat flour in many recipes. It may absorb liquid slightly differently, so you might notice a need for minor adjustments in hydration. The resulting baked goods often have a tender crumb and a pleasant, subtle sweetness. It works well in yeasted doughs, providing good structure for loaves, and also in quick breads and cakes for a tender texture. Experimentation is key to discovering its full potential in your favorite recipes.
