CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor add the spelt, whole wheat, corn flours, sugar, herbs, baking powder and baking soda.
• Process these dry ingredients well, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a whisk, in a different bowl mix the yogurt and oil well. Add it through the feeding tube of the food processor until the dough forms a ball.
• The dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is less sticky and easy to handle.
• Don't add too much more flour however, you don't want the dough to be tough.
• Put the dough into a bowl to rest and cover with a damp cloth for about 25 minutes.
• Oil the pizza pan with a little olive oil.
• In the meantime prepare your toppings.
• When the 25 minutes have passed press the dough onto the pizza pan.
• Add the toppings and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. The edges of the dough should have risen and be a medium golden brown shade.
• Bon Appetit!
