Spelt Pizza Dough

Top this spelt pizza dough with your favorite pizza toppings. Spelt is an ancient grain that's related to modern wheat, but it's actually an entirely different species. From what I hear, it's easier to digest, higher in protein and fiber, and to me at least, it has a much better flavor and texture than other whole wheat flours.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 cups sprouted spelt flour, or as needed, divided

  • 1 cup warm water (100 to 105 degrees F/38 to 41 degrees C)

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the bowl

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. Whisk 1 cup flour, water, honey, and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and mixture is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

  2. Stir remaining 2 cups flour, olive oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Beat in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, adding more flour as necessary, until a soft and tacky dough forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Place dough into an oiled mixing bowl, cover the bowl with a plate, and let rise until doubled in volume, 90 minutes.

  3. Punch dough down and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into four equal balls. Cover each ball and let rest until dough rises slightly, 30 to 45 minutes.

Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Salad)

Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Salad)

This Greek cabbage salad is simplicity at its best. It's a mainstay in Greek homes, especially in winter. The crunchy shredded cabbage takes center stage, and I prefer to mix in some carrots too, although this is optional. This salad will keep for two to three days in the fridge.
