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
- 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
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil , plus more for oiling the bowl
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
-
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.

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.

The Big Jamo Cocktail
Timothy O'Toole's bar in Chicago, a place with undying loyalty to the Bears, features this big Irish whiskey-infused drink flavored with ginger ale and lime. The cocktail is named after Jameson whiskey, aka Big Jamo. "There's a big pour, a solid 8-count of Jamo in there," the bartender told us.

Beef Stroganoff with White Wine
Based on a dish I had a pub in Scotland, this beef stroganoff is best served with rice instead of noodles. The sauce is not very thick, so it coats the rice nicely.
