Spelt Pizza Dough

Contributed by: Melinda

This recipe is for a bread maker.

To bake the pizza, use a baking stone preheated in the oven at 450 to 500 degrees. This is designed for no pre-baking of the dough. Just top sparingly and bake. Place pizza on preheated stone with a pizza peel.

What you need

  1. 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  2. 1 tbl Olive Oil
  3. 3/4 tablespoon agave syrup
  4. 1/tsp salt
  5. 2 1/2 cups white spelt flour
  6. 1 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast

How to make it

  1. Place all ingredients in machine in recommended order and select the dough setting.
  2. If you make the dough ahead, it can be placed in an oiled bowl and loosely covered with plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use for up to 3-4 hours
  3. Divide dough into two portions
  4. On a floured surface, press into rounds, pressing toward the edge to create a small lip - you can lift and let the weight pull the dough out from the center, rotating to maintain a rounded form
  5. Let rest 10-15 minutes before continuing (I've let it rest longer, but be cautious if the room is very warm, it can become difficult to handle)
  6. Top as desired and bake at 450-500 degrees for 10 minutes until crust edges are browned, or in a pizza pan at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until crust is golden brown
