Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 1 pizza crust
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This will ensure that the pizza crust cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of spelt flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly using a whisk or a fork to ensure there are no clumps.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of water to the dry mixture. Start with half of the water and mix it in using a spatula or your hands. Continue adding the remaining water a little at a time until the dough starts to come together.
- Once the dough has formed, knead it gently in the bowl or on a clean, floured surface for about 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Be careful not to over-knead, as this can make the crust tough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch for a crispy crust. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more spelt flour as needed.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone. You can use your hands to stretch the dough to fit the shape of the baking sheet or stone.
- Once the crust is shaped, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up during baking.
- Place the pizza crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm to the touch.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings. Enjoy your oil-free, yeast-free spelt pizza crust!
Tips
- • For the most consistent results, use a kitchen scale to measure your spelt flour precisely. • Make sure your water is at room temperature to help the dough come together smoothly. • Don't skip poking holes in the crust - this prevents unwanted bubbling and ensures an even bake. • If the dough feels too sticky, add spelt flour in small increments, not all at once. • For extra flavor, you can experiment with adding dried herbs like thyme or basil to the dry mix. • Allow the crust to cool slightly before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. • If you prefer a crispier crust, you can pre-bake it for a few minutes before adding toppings.
