Today we are making a spelt pizza with arugula and ham, the kind we love sharing for a cozy dinner at home. Made with whole spelt flour and buffalo mozzarella, we get a super thin crust and a topping packed with flavor. You can knead it by hand or in a food processor and add the fresh toppings right when it comes out of the oven.
