Ingredients

  • 200 g spelt whole‑grain flour
  • 200 g spelt flour type 630
  • Salt
  • 21 g yeast (0.5 cube)
  • 300 g Eggplant (1 Eggplant)
  • 250 g Zucchini (1 Zucchini)
  • 200 g yellow bell pepper (1 yellow bell pepper)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 600 g chunky tomatoes (canned; drained weight)
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp dried rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp thyme
  • Pepper
  • 250 g sheep cheese

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix both flours with 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Press a well in the center and crumble the yeast into it.

  2. 2.

    Pour 250 ml lukewarm water over it and knead everything with the dough hooks of a hand mixer until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Meanwhile, clean, wash and dry eggplant, zucchini and bell pepper. Cut all into small cubes.

  4. 4.

    Peel and dice the onion; peel and finely chop the garlic.

  5. 5.

    Heat oil in a non‑stick pan. Sauté the vegetable cubes, onion and garlic with frequent stirring over medium heat for 3 minutes.

  6. 6.

    Add chunky tomatoes and tomato paste, bring to a boil. Season with oregano, rosemary and thyme. Salt, pepper and simmer for about 3 minutes on medium heat.

  7. 7.

    Drain the sheep cheese and cut into small cubes.

  8. 8.

    Place dough on a floured work surface and divide into quarters. Take one quarter, split it into 10 portions and shape each into a 7 cm diameter mini pizza. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pizzas on it.

  9. 9.

    Top each mini pizza with 1 tbsp of eggplant‑bell pepper mixture (ratatouille) and some sheep cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 225 °C (fan: 200 °C, gas: level 3–4) on the lowest rack for 12–15 minutes.

    Remove and lift the pizzas with parchment paper from the tray. Repeat with the remaining 3 dough quarters, shape, top and bake.
