Spelt Pizza Dough

Spelt Pizza Dough

My experimenting with spelt flour continues! This time in pizza dough. If I can add some nutritional content to pizza without compromising flavour, why wouldn’t I?

Spelt Pizza Dough

I added 2 1/4 tsp of yeast and 1 tsp of sugar to 1 cup of warm (not hot) water. I let it sit for 10 minutes.

I like my pizza dough to be on the sweet side sometimes so I added a couple of tsp of honey.

I added 1 cup of spelt flour to my mixer and then added 2 cups of regular all purpose flour.

I added 1 tsp of salt to the dry ingredients and mixed together for a few seconds with a paddle attachment.

I slowly drizzled in the yeast mixture and some additional warm water for the dough to come together. I replaced the paddle attachment with the dough hook. The mixer kneaded the dough for 10 minutes.

I tossed the dough around a greased bowl, covered and let rise for an hour or so.

You can tell it has been warm here, wow, what a change!

I divided the dough, stretched and flattened to make individual pizzas then grilled on both sides for around six minutes each on medium high to cook the dough.

I slathered on some of my sundried tomato pesto (this time I made it with pecans and added some balsamic vinegar), roasted portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, goat cheese… and put it until the broiler for a few minutes.

Super tasty and I still enjoyed the texture. No, it is not 100% spelt flour but I am working my ways towards that. So far, I like what I am tasting. What appeals to me most about spelt is that you it is supposed to be 100% interchangeable with regular flour and I am starting to believe that may be possible.

Next? Spelt cookies!!! Oh man, I hope I like them. Crappy cookies would be such a waste.

    Yum! I do love spelt flour and I’ve tried it in savoury popovers, apple and peanut butter squares, and banana chocolate chip squares (my favourite so far). I look forward to seeing what you try next!

    Healthy and mouthwatering, that pizza looks fabulous. I’m interested in the spelt cookie experiment, can there really be such a thing as a crappy cookie? I think not…but I’ll let you try it first lol!
