💖 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- The Einkorn flour base adds a nutty, rustic flavour and wholesome texture.
- Mini size pizzas bake faster and are easier to handle.
- Rainbow vegetables make these Einkorn dough pizzas bright, fun, and nutritious.
⭐ Star Ingredients
- Einkorn Flour: This ancient grain isn’t just trendy, it’s one of the most digestible and nutrient-rich flours available. Einkorn contains less gluten and a higher protein and vitamin content than modern wheat, making it easier on sensitive tummies. I love using Grand Teton Ancient Grains Einkorn Flour in pizza dough because it gives a soft yet slightly nutty crust with a rustic flavour that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables.
- Tomato Passata: Use a good-quality passata or homemade tomato sauce. Its balanced sweetness and tang make the perfect base for the einkorn crust. Add herbs or a little garlic for extra depth.
- Rainbow Vegetables: Slice colourful veggies like peppers, sweetcorn, spinach, and red onion thinly so they cook evenly. Their natural sweetness and bright colours make these mini pizzas fun and nutritious for kids and adults alike.

🔀 Substitutions & Variations
- Base: Swap tomato passata for pesto or roasted red pepper sauce.
- Cheese: Try vegan mozzarella, goat’s cheese, or ricotta for variety.
- Veggies: Rotate with seasonal picks like pumpkin, courgette, or asparagus.
- Extras: Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or chilli oil for a gourmet touch.

🔪 How To Make Einkorn Flour Pizza Dough
- Step 1: In a large bowl, add water and sprinkle over yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Step 2: Stir in olive oil and salt.
Add einkorn flour gradually while mixing.
- Step 3: Continue to mix until dough forms.
- Step 4: Knead gently on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and soft (einkorn dough will be stickier than regular wheat).
- Step 5: Roll the dough into a ball.
- Step 6: Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Step 7: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the risen dough into small balls and roll each into a mini circle.
- Step 8: Spread tomato passata evenly on each base and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Step 9: Arrange vegetables in rainbow order: red, orange/yellow, green, purple.
- Step 10: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm.
💡 Pro Tip: Einkorn dough is softer and stickier than regular wheat — dust your hands lightly with flour instead of adding more to the mix. This keeps the crust tender and prevents it from drying out.
