SPELT PIZZA DOUGH

The 'ancient grain' spelt is related to modern wheat, but it's actually an entirely different species. From what I hear, it's easier to digest, higher in protein and fiber, and to me at least, has a much better flavor and texture than other whole-wheat flours. Top with favorite pizza toppings!

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups sprouted spelt flour, or as needed, divided
1 cup warm water (100 to 105 degrees F/38 to 41 degrees C)
2 teaspoons honey
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Beat mixture in a bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, adding more flour as necessary, until a soft and tacky dough forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Place dough in mixing bowl with a little olive oil, cover bowl with a plate, and let rise until doubled in size, 90 minutes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2-3 cups whole grain or 2 1/2-3 cups unbleached white spelt flour
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon sea salt
extra olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and mix with large spoon.
  • Add oil, rosemary and salt, mixing well.
  • Mix in the rest of the flour and turn out onto a well-floured surface; knead for 5 minutes. Add more flour until dough is no longer sticky.
  • Rinse and dry the bowl and lubricate with olive oil. Return dough to bowl, turning once to cover in oil.
  • Cover dough with clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place in the kitchen.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and divide dough into two or three pieces, depending upon pan size and crust preference; on flat, floured surface roll out each piece to approximate pan size.
  • Sprinkle each pan with a light dusting of cornmeal and lay dough in the pans. Oil your fingertips and press pizza dough into each pan.
  • Lightly precook the crust before adding sauce and toppings. You want the dough to rise enough in the oven to form bubbles but remove before it begins to brown, less than 5 minutes.
