Do you want a 100% spelt pizza?

Capt. Bob uses spelt in his pizza.

When I have used it I just added 5-10% spelt to my normal dough. It adds a nice flavor.

"The most important element of pizza is the dough. Pizza is bread after all. Bread with toppings." -Brian Spangler

"Ultimately, pizza is a variety of condiments on top of bread. If I wanted to evolve, I figured out that I had to understand bread and first make the best bread I possibly could. Only then could my pizza evolve as well." Dan Richer

I've used it successfully to replace up to 25% of the regular white flour used in the dough formulation. Watch your dough formulation too as you will need to increase it a bit when using spelt flour.

I agree with Hans....5-10% works great....

My current sourdough pizza is 85% white wheat, 15% Spelt. Fresh milled in a mockmill 100. Both sifted through a #40 sifter for ~85% extraction flour. My starter uses white whole wheat, but I feed my levain Spelt for use in the dough. This has produced a crust that my wife approves of and allowed me to replace an all white crust with. I've found that we really like Spelt in both pizza and bread. Give it a shot!
