The Best spelt flour pizza recipe

I’m so excited to share my spelt flour pizza recipe with you all. As a busy mom, I’m always on the lookout for healthy and delicious meals that my family will love. This recipe has been a game-changer for us, and I know it will be for you too. Spelt flour is an ancient grain that’s rich in nutrients and has a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the tomato sauce and the savory taste of the cheese.

My kids can’t get enough of this pizza, and it’s become a staple in our household. I love that it’s not only tasty but also packed with fiber and protein to keep us full and energized throughout the day. The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make!

Just mix together some spelt flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil, let it rise for a bit, shape it into a ball, and then flatten it into a circle. Top it with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, and bake until golden brown. Voila! A delicious homemade pizza that’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can customize it to your heart’s content with different toppings and sauces, making it perfect for any occasion or mealtime. My family loves when I make individual mini pizzas for parties or special events, and they’re always a hit. But even on a regular Tuesday night, this pizza is a crowd-pleaser.

My husband raves about the flavors and texture of the crust, which is surprisingly light and airy despite being made with whole grain flour. And as for me? I just love how easy it is to whip up in under an hour – perfect for those crazy weeknights when we need something quick but satisfying.

🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups spelt flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce

1 cup tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper

For the Toppings

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
1/2 cup sliced onions
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup sliced olives
1 tbsp olive oil

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a baking sheet or pizza stone inside.
2This will ensure the crust gets crispy.
3Combine spelt flour, salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl.
4Add warm water and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.
5Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes until smooth.
6Let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
7While the dough is resting, prepare the sauce by mixing tomato sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Set aside.
8After the dough has rested, on a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough to your desired thickness, aiming for about 1/4 inch.
9Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza peel.
10Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the crust.
11Add shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
12Distribute sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives evenly over the cheese.
13Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
14Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
15The edges of the crust should be crispy, and the cheese should be lightly browned in spots.
16Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
17This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve.
18Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot.
19Enjoy your homemade spelt flour pizza with your favorite toppings.
