Spelt Pizza Dough image

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

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup flour, water, honey, and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and mixture is bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir remaining flour, olive oil, and salt into yeast mixture. 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.
  • Punch dough down and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 4 balls; cover each and let rest until dough rises slightly, 30 to 45 minutes. Roll into desired shapes and thickness.

This pizza dough was a disaster. It was too sticky to work with and resulted in a tough and chewy crust. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of spelt flour, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. The pizza dough was easy to make, but the end result was a bit bland for my taste.

This pizza dough was a bit dense for my taste, but it still had a good flavor. I might try using less spelt flour next time.

I've tried many different pizza dough recipes, but this one is by far the best. The spelt flour gives it a slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with any toppings.
