Wholemeal Spelt Pizza Dough

3/4 cup tepid water

7g packet of dried yeast

2 cups spelt flour

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

pinch of dried oregano

• I tend to make my pizza doughs in the mixer, I personally have a KitchenAid, but you use what you are comfortable with
• place yeast, water, flour, salt, oil and oregano into the mixer and put onto a low speed with the dough hook to combine. You can also do this in a mixing bowl.  If that is the case, place your dry ingredients in the bowl first, then slowly add the water and yeast with a wooden spoon, until combined.  If a little too stick, place in 2 tablespoons extra of flour.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface for 1 minute or a minute in the mixer, until the dough feels elastic and not too sticky.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and let rest at room temperate for 30 minutes.
• Once ready to use, oil a tray or a pizza tray, spread out thick or thin, depends on how you like it.  Then add your toppings, bake at 220c and ENJOY !!
