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.
