Spelt & Hemp pizza with whatever-you-have-in-the-fridge topping

You heard it right - a pizza made of spelt and hemp flour ... the proportion is about 80% - 20%, you only need some liquid to bind the two (we used not alcoholic beer and a little olive oil), salt and cumin - no yeast is required, therefore, you can prepare it very quickly ... and of course, you will need someone who is keen and able to knead the dough to death ;) ...

once the dough is nice and elastic, you just need to stretch it on to a parchment-lined baking tray (as thin as you can, if you like your pizza "crunchy") and choose your toppings - we started by spreading a little marmite/veggimite-like salty yeast and some concentrated tomatoes on the whole pizza-base, then, on one side: sliced garlic, sliced onion, chopped green olives, fresh cherry tomatoes; on the other side: sliced onions, romanesco and brussel sprouts (we had quickly steamed the romanesco and brussel sprouts as they were frozen)... oregano, salt, pepper and a little olive oil and off in the pre-heated oven (250°C) for about 10 minutes ... once done, we added a little bit of fresh rucola on the side with the fresh tomatoes and we were done ... quick, easy and delicious!!

the hemp flour adds a nice taste to the crust and it's also full of proteins - without the illegal high, of course ... ;)
