Yields1 Serving

Spelt Flour Pizza Dough - AlixBarth.com

 1 ½ cups spelt flour
 1 tbsp baking powder
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ½ cup filtered water
 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil + 1-2 tsp
1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2

Place the flour, baking powder and the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water and 1 tbsp oil.

3

Combine by gradually incorporating the flour into the oil and water. If the dough is not coming together/too crumbly, add a little more water, 1 tbsp at a time, if needed.

4

Transfer the dough to a floured board and knead it at least for 5-7 minutes.

5

Let the dough rest in an air-tight plastic bag for 10 minutes.

6

Put a 1-2 tsp oil in the center of your pizza pan and with your hands and finger tips spread the dough to desired thinness.

7

If you want a thinner, crispier crust, using a fork, poke a few holes all over the dough before putting in the oven. If you prefer a slightly thicker, chewier crust, omit this step.

8

Place into the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until barely browned all over.

9

Remove from the oven, top as desired. Place back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, until toppings are warmed through.

10

Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes. Slice as desired and enjoy!
