Thanks for this Andrea. I made it today for lunch with my little girl’s friend who is 4. I don’t have a mixer so did it by hand and made it with quick yeast instead of active (this might be the same thing I am not sure but I made it differently because I think it is different). This is what I did:

I mixed the 2 flours together in a bowl with just 1 tsp of quick yeast (because 3 cups of flour weighed about 500g and the packet says 1 tsp of quick yeast for 500g of flour). I then added the sugar to the dry mix and then mixed in to all of this the water. Then I mixed it all together with a wooden spoon until the mixture got craggy and then added the olive oil, then I got my hands involved and kneaded into a soft dough ball, adding more water as required. Then I let rise as you suggest, beat it down, shaped, topped, cooked and ate!

It was delicious! Thank you!

I am going to try this out right away. I have a waffle batter recipe that I have worked out in much the same fashion. My wife and I prefer the grainy texture, as well as the fact that is is almost all fiber carbs – low glycemic (that is the real value, Kilax). However, I mix my spelt wtih soy flour when my daughter and son-in-law join us for Sunday brunch.

any idea how this would adapt to being made in a bread maker?

I’ll definitely have to try using spelt. Your pizza always looks so great!

That sounds really similar to the recipe we use except we don't use spelt flour. What is the nutritional value of it? What is different? You know, we do have a dough hook for our mixer. I should ask Steven if we wants to use that tonight - we have Pizza Sundays
