- Line a baking tray with baking paper and scatter a little spelt flour over it to prevent sticking
- Sift the dry ingredients together and make a well in the centre.
- Mix the wet ingredients together thoroughly.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. You should end up with a wet dough. Transfer the dough to your lined tray and score a cross in the top.
