Over the past month we’ve been on a pizza kick.  We’ve experimented with whole wheat, spelt, oats, and a few other gf grains in between.  We have decided on a favorite tomato sauce (when I don’t prepare our own), and have even tried a mediterranean sauce to use instead of tomato.  Toppings of all kinds found their way onto our pizza; fresh herbs and anything else that was lying around.  It has been a lot of fun.  Sunday we shared some pizza with my parents and brothers: spelt bread with cheese/herb dana jeera chicken/turkey sausage/pepperoni.  Per request of my lovely mother…here is the recipe.  Enjoy!

Spelt Pizza Dough

In mixer combine water and yeast. Add remaining ingredients and mix on low with a bread hook for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle corn meal on the cookie sheets and roll dough onto pan. After spreading sauce and desired toppings, cook at 350 for 12 minutes.
