FEATURED INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Whole-grain spelt supplies fiber and minerals. Seeds add unsaturated fats, plant protein, and textural contrast.

COACH WINONA’S KITCHEN NOTE

Spelt dough is happiest when it remains slightly tacky. Add flour slowly so the rolls stay light rather than dense.

WISE CHOICES FOR YOUR BODY

A nourishing recipe may still need adjustment for your health plan. Consider allergies, gluten tolerance, blood-sugar needs, kidney concerns, sodium goals, digestive comfort, medications, and the guidance of your qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian. Ingredient substitutions can change both nutrition and estimated calories.
