Spelt Yeast Dough Pizza

Ingredients

• 0.5 cube Yeast
• 450 g spelt flour type 1050 (+1 tbsp for working)
• Salt
• 1 tsp whole grain sugar
• 7 tbsp olive oil
• 4 red onions
• 4 Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 red chili pepper
• 4 green peppers (canned)
• 600 g passata (canned)
• Pepper
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 120 g feta cheese (45% fat in milk)
• 0.5 bunch basil (10 g)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Dissolve yeast in 225 ml lukewarm water. In a bowl mix flour with 1 tsp salt and sugar, create a well in the center, pour in yeast mixture and 3 tbsp olive oil, then knead by hand into a smooth dough. Knead vigorously on a floured surface, return to bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile peel onions and slice into rings. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan. Sauté onions over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until softened, then set aside. Wash tomatoes, halve them and cut into wedges. Clean the chili pepper, wash it and slice into rings. Drain canned peppers and cut diagonally into small pieces.

3. 3.

   Line two baking trays (≈24×32 cm) with parchment paper. Knead dough again, divide in half and roll each piece on a floured surface into a rectangle the size of a tray. Place one dough base on each tray, press up a small edge and brush it with remaining olive oil.

4. 4.

   Season passata with salt, pepper and oregano, then spread thinly over the bases. Top pizzas with half the onion rings and tomatoes. Sprinkle feta over them, add chili, peppers and the remaining onion rings. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C fan (convection) for 20–25 minutes.

5. 5.

   Wash basil, pat dry and cut leaves into strips. Remove pizza from oven, slice into pieces and sprinkle with basil before serving.
