I will never buy pizza sauce again after discovering this recipe! It is quick, easy and thick, and does not require any cooking before it goes on the pizza!
I had never heard of this before we went to a hayride a few years ago and someone brought some stuffed pepper soup for the potluck. I loved it! She didn’t have a recipe, so I had to come up with one for it. I like this even better than Stuffed Peppers, and it is super easy and fast!
In a Dutch oven, brown beef with onion and peppers. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook until rice is fully cooked.
This can also be made in a crock pot. Cook beef, onion, and peppers in a skillet first, then transfer to crock pot with all other ingredients. Cook about 4 hours on high, or until rice is cooked through.
In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, place all ingredients.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dried on the almonds and it has a furry looking appearance.
Pour onto a large sheet pan and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12-18 hours. Overnight works great.
Place a cast iron dutch oven into oven and heat to 450 degrees F. Heat pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour dough onto heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is heating.
Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough. (Don't worry if the shape is ugly at this point. It will even out in the baking process.) Cover and return to oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
Recipe Notes
Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt with no problem. Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.
