How do I get large holes in English Muffins

Of course - unless I make them myself, with spelt!

Spelt IS wheat.

It is a primitive wheat, that is tolerated by some people who can't tolerate modern wheats. However, for many people, it's just wheat. For people with gluten sensitivities, spelt is a no-no.

I DO wish vita-spelt hadn't used that misleading advertising campaign touting spelt as a wheat alternative.

It might be more accurate to say that what we now call wheat is spelt, or a descendant of spelt.

And I am one that can tolerate much more spelt than wheat. If I eat enough of it, or *whole* spelt, I get a similar reaction as from wheat. Still less severe and shorter duration, though. Case in point: Last night we were joining a group of friends for a dinner at Chevy's (California Mexican chain.) Before heading out, I made up a batch of half a dozen spelt tortillas to bring with me. Ended up pigging out and eating the entire stack with my habanero steak fajitas, amounting to 1.5 cups of white spelt flour. *Very* mild reaction, well within my "It was worth it!" tolerance level...

For some, it is. As usual, each individual is different, and needs to take responsibility for his own health!

George, Your recipe is great! I finally finished off the bread I had on hand and made a batch of English Muffins using your recipe. The muffins have the larger holes. Thanks a lot. BobbiJo

Me too! Made a 2nd batch yesterday. Thanks!
