Preparation

Preparation of the spelt paste

Step #1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (thermostat 7).

Step #2

Mix 150 g of spelt flour, 50 g of freshly ground almond powder, 5 cl of AOP Provence olive oil, 5 cl of water, 1 teaspoon of herb salt to obtain a homogeneous paste.

Step #3

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the work surface, spread the dough roughly and cover with a second sheet of parchment paper. Spread with a rolling pin, forming a circle the size of your pizza pan (32-33 cm).

Step #4

Remove the sheet of parchment paper from the top and put your pizza pan upside down on the dough to cut out what sticks out. Then transfer the dough on its parchment paper in your pizza pan (preferably perforated), or otherwise on a perforated baking sheet, and prick it with a fork.

Step #5

Bake for 7 minutes in the oven at 200°C, fan heat.

Pie preparation

Step #6

Spread the mustard on the bottom of the pie, then line with grated Comté.

Pass the zucchini flowers in olive oil and arrange them nicely on the pie.

Put a small drizzle of AOP Provence olive oil on the tomatoes, salt and pepper.
