Spelt Flour Pizza

After an impromptu trip to Queen Victoria Market yesterday afternoon, and a few impromptu purchases (!!) we decided tonight was "gourmet" pizza night at our house!

Am now well and truly used to home-made spelt flour pizza bases, and tonight's was delicious - much thinner than normal (I am personally not a fan of thick bases) and much less 'filling'.

I even roasted beetroot and had some lovely buffalo mozzarella cheese to go on top - I think it's fair to say it a success, even with the other half who doesn't have to eat spelt flour!

If you're looking for a good wheat-free pizza base recipe, this one seems to work pretty well:

200ml water
1 tablespoon olive oil
375g spelt flour (either white or wholemeal)
1 3/4 teaspoons yeast
2 teaspoons full cream milk powder
1 teaspoon bread improver

I just throw it all (in that order) into the bread maker and run it on the 'dough' setting.  Has always turned out fantastic, and is enough base for 1 family size pizza and 1 large size!
