Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water no hotter than 115 or it could kill the yeast
- 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast one packet
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose einkorn flour
Instructions
- 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. Add salt, olive oil, and einkorn flour to the yeast and water. 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.
- 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.After it has doubled, punch down and divide in halves.
- Preheat pizza stone or cast iron skillet at 400 degrees. Roll each ball of dough into a 12” circle on a large piece of parchment paper.Add rolled out dough and parchment paper to the pizza stone (or a baking sheet).Add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
- Bake for 15 minutes. The crust should turn golden on the edges and the cheese will be nicely melted.
Slice and serve.
Notes
- If the dough seems too wet, you can add up to 1/2 cup more flour. Add it slowly, as you don’t want the dough to be too dry.
- Make sure not to over-knead the dough.
