Homemade Spelt Vegan Pizza

Who doesn’t like pizza?

Pizza is the world’s favourite fast food. We eat it everywhere – at home, in restaurants, on street corners. People have been eating pizza, in one form or another, for centuries. As far back as antiquity, pieces of flatbread, topped with savouries, served as a simple and tasty meal for those who could not afford plates, or who were on the go.

Why I choose a spelt crust?

I like to use spelt flour rather than whole wheat because I find it’s tastes bet ter and has a lighter texture. Spelt is also an ancient grain but it does contain gluten. It is not tolerated for those with celiac disease but because it contains less gluten than wheat, barley and rye it may be tolerated by those with a mild gluten sensitivity (not allergy to gluten or wheat).

Thank-you to my friend Mary Nauom for the hint to cook my onions, peppers and mushroom first then add the pizza sauce and simmer. It makes for an amazingly delicious pizza!
