Einkorn Pizza Dough

Step 1

Combine warm water and yeast in a stand mixer bowl (or a medium to large bowl) and let stand for 5 minutes to proof the yeast.

Step 3

Add salt, olive oil, and einkorn flour to the yeast and water.

Step 5

Knead on medium speed with the dough hook. The dough should start pulling away from the sides of the bowl. If it doesn’t, you can add up to 1/2 cup more flour.

Step 7

Place into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled. This should take about 2 hours, depending on how warm the room is.

Step 9

After it has doubled, punch down and divide in halves.

Step 11

Preheat pizza stone or cast iron skillet at 400 degrees.

Step 13

Roll each ball of dough into a 12” circle on a large piece of parchment paper.

Step 15

Add rolled out dough and parchment paper to the pizza stone (or a baking sheet).

Step 17

Add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.

Step 19

Bake for 15 minutes. The crust should turn golden on the edges and the cheese will be nicely melted.

Step 21

Slice and serve.
