This is sooo good. I made it with my 3 year old and she had blast. It was a very fun, albeit quite messy, Sunday morning project for us. I used all AP flour and ended up needing to add about 1/4 cup more because the dough was still way too wet. It turned out perfect though. We tried it 10 minutes out of the oven and I had to fight my kid and husband for any part of it, or to keep some for a later snack.

You can use just all purpose flour. You may need to add a bit of extra water to the mix since spelt flour is more water soluble. You may also need to knead the dough a bit more to get to shiny & smooth point you are looking for. The recipe will work just fine and the taste difference will be negligible. I have done it with just the one flour and no one knew the difference.

Can you use all purpose flour for all flour ingredients?

This is years too late but yes.. I have successfully made this vegan. I used earth balance for the butter, soy or oat milk, (I have a nut allergy) and I used the water from a can of garbanzo beans for an egg replacement.

While I cook all the time, I don't consider myself much of a baker. This recipe was so well written with clear step by step instructions it was a breath of fresh air. I warmed the water to 120 degrees for the yeast but other than that, I followed everything exactly as written. It came out perfect!

Hi! Just made this today - love the recipe but found that it tastes a little yeasty. Any suggestions?

Maybe make each ball a bit smaller, allowing for more of the sugar/spice mixture to do their magic with each bite. I did try just a dough ball and it doesn't have a ton of flavor since most of the taste comes from the coating.

Wondering how to prepare the night before up to the baking stage. For an easy Sunday breakfast...
