Does anyone use a pre-made spelt crust and if so where do you get it from?
Thanks
what is “spelt” crust? my advice would be to contact your food service rep.
Spelt is an early/old type of grain, very similar to wheat. I’m sure there are other sources available, but I’ve had luck getting it from Bob’s Red Mill <www.bobsredmill.com>. I’m not aware of anyone making commercial pizza crusts from spelt.

I once worked for a pizzeria that used them. Not many people ordered them- just the ones that were sensitive to common wheat- so he made up small batches at a time, pressed them out, then froze them. They seemed to keep pretty well. I myself loved using a spelt crust for staff pizzas!
If I remember correctly, spelt is so close to wheat that it might be included in the grains not to be used in making gluten-free products. I’ll need t check on this and confirm if I’m right or wrong.

That’d be interesting if it turns out to be true, since that’s how the owner marketed the product.
That’s what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirmation.

I just got the word back from our “tech” people that spelt is officially “out” when it comes to gluten-free.
