It can sometimes feel like making your own bread at home is very labour-intensive and time-consuming, and can sometimes seem too difficult for your average cook. Well, this recipe is here to prove us wrong! Our farmer Charlélie from the Domaine Hermiton farm has shared with us this wonderful recipe for a great snack. It’s quick and easy and absolutely delicious! 

Small spelt is a great ingredient for bread recipes, as it’s super rich in fibres and has great nutritional value. Small spelt also helps regulate cholesterol and sugar levels in the bloodstream! Aside from its nutritional and health benefits, it’s also delicious with jam (check out our CrowdFarmer Carrie’s bergamot marmalade recipe here!)
