Question

Pizza dough, can I substitute spelt flour?

Answer 1

wait do you want to use spelt flour or not? if you do wanna use it yes you can use it my dad used it a couple times cuz he's got a wheat allergie!!!

Answer 2

Flour is very transversal, people mix and match self rising, wheat, white, etc. as long as you substitute another kind of flour you should be fine, Hope this helps, Derek.

Answer 3

pizza dough is made from self fermenting flour with little yeast.  If you use any other flour then you need to add little more yeast and a teaspoon of baking powder to ferment and make it soft.

Answer 4

The trick to making good pizza in general and good spelt pizza in particular is not to over-top it, and to cook it on a pizza stone if at all possible. If you like making homemade pizza, get one. Warm the stone up for at least 20 minutes at 500°F and bake the pizza right on it. If you don't have a pizza peel, sprinkle a no-sides cookie sheet with cornmeal, lay your rolled-out pizza dough on it, top it, and slide it off the sheet onto the stone.

Ingredients:

Cornmeal

3T hot water

3T milk

1package active dry yeast

1T Olive oil (plus extra)

1pinch sugar

1t salt

1T whole spelt flour--optional

1c light spelt flour

Cornmeal

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the water and milk. It should be a little warm to the touch, not hot--the milk will cool the water. Add the yeast and sugar and let it dissolve. When it's dissolved, add the salt, olive oil and whole spelt flour, and start adding the light flour, stopping when you have a soft but not overly sticky dough--you will NOT need all the flour called for, the extra is for rolling out the dough. Knead for a few minutes until you have a nice little ball. Clean out the bowl, pour a little olive oil in it, and put in the dough ball, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean towel and leave in a warm place for an hour to rise.

When you're ready to make your pizza, roll it out to the size, shape and thickness you want on a well-floured board, top it as you please, and bake at 500°F for 5-8 minutes or until it looks like pizza.
