doesnt need to be kneaded like regular flour cos weaker gluten?

shouldnt let rise to double cos weaker gluten?

and then advice on the opposite?

I treat it like regular flour and it comes out perfect. For baking challah and cakes and anything else.

I have a challah recipe you can interchange the regular flour for white spelt.
I knead them both the same and let them both rise a lot with punching down if I'm too busy to start plaiting.

I have an 80% whole wheat recipe for rolls which uses honey and its very sticky and says just knead a bit.

I wonder if it depends on white / 80% or 100%

The brand "Grain Brain " has a great recipe printed on their Spelt white flour bag. I
also tried the recipe printed on the organic bag but found the regular spelt better for challah.

I use all my favorite wheat challa recipes with white spelt flour. If anything it needs a little less liquid - like 1/4 cup less. Worst comes to worst, add as needed.
