Thank you! We love this crust. I had just been using the recipe/pizza crust setting on my bread machine, but was looking for something healthier. I love spelt flour in anything, and this recipe does not disapoint. Even better, it's faster and no more messy than using the bread machine, plus it's a good stress reliever to knead dough by hand every once in a while. :)
