Top this spelt pizza dough with your favorite pizza toppings. Spelt is an ancient grain that's 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, it has a much better flavor and texture than other whole wheat flours.

Ingredients

  • sprouted spelt flour: 3 cups (or as needed, divided)
  • warm water (100 to 105 degrees F/38 to 41 degrees C): 1 cup
  • honey: 2 tsp
  • active dry yeast: 1 pack (.25 ounce pack)
  • extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the bowl: 1 Tbsp
  • kosher salt: 1 tsp

  1. Whisk 1 cup flour, water, honey, and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and mixture is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

  2. Stir remaining 2 cups flour, olive oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Beat in a stand 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 into an oiled mixing bowl, cover the bowl with a plate, and let rise until doubled in volume, 90 minutes.

  3. Punch dough down and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into four equal balls. Cover each ball and let rest until dough rises slightly, 30 to 45 minutes.
