Ingredients

• 300 grams spelt flour
• 180 milliliters warm water
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water, instant yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more spelt flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down lightly to release any air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a sheet of parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone. Add your desired toppings.

Step 10

Bake the spelt pizza crust in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust is crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
