How do I ensure my spelt pizza dough rises properly?

Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water and a teaspoon of flour for 10 minutes, then knead the dough for 5 minutes and let it rise in a warm place for an hour until doubled.

Can I make the sun-dried tomato sauce ahead of time?

Yes, the sun-dried tomato sauce can be prepared in advance by blending the soaked tomatoes, garlic powder, and salt until smooth, then stored until ready to use.

What's the best way to get a smooth cashew garlic sauce?

For a perfectly smooth cashew garlic sauce, ensure your cashews are soaked for at least 6 hours and rinsed before blending them with water, lemon juice, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast.

How do I prevent the pizza crust from bubbling during baking?

After stretching the dough onto the pan and lightly brushing it with oil, pierce the crust a few times with a fork before the initial 5-7 minute bake to prevent bubbling.

What kind of oil should I use for the crust and pan?

The recipe suggests olive oil or an oil of your choice for both mixing into the dough and lightly brushing the crust before baking.
