In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and spelt flour. Mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water (100-110°F). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Punch down the risen dough, then divide it into two equal portions for two smaller pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange fresh basil leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and red onion on top.
Optionally, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve!
