Notes
Pro Tips:
For the crispiest thin crust, preheat your pizza stone in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you don't have a pizza stone, flip a baking sheet upside down and use that instead!
Roll the dough out on a piece of parchment, then lift the parchment onto the pan so you don’t have to handle the soft spelt dough.
