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 package active dry yeast , .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.

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.

Sincronizada
Sincronizadas are quesadillas made with ham and cheese. They were a common light meal in the part of Mexico where I stayed this year and make a quick and easy breakfast or lunch. Serve with your favorite salsa or canned chile slices.
Savory Pumpkin Hummus
I tinkered a bit with what I found in other recipes and this is the result. I think I like my results. I stirred in a small handful of tamari-flavored pumpkin seeds just before serving (couldn't find plain ones) and sprinkled a bit of paprika on top to make it look nice.
The Best Vegetable Salad
A refreshing vegetable salad using all different kinds of vegetables. You can use whatever you like, but the tomatoes and cucumbers make it taste great. It is very much like an Israeli salad. The homemade dressing is very good for any green salad.
