My time to write up a post has shot up to more than an hour right now. I am hoping things will settle down in another few days. And did I mention that the WP editor fonts are so tiny. more spelling errors in the making. The blog feed has also been giving me some trouble. In spite of all the setting to show summary, the entire post gets sent in the email. Please bear with me while the bugs get resolved. end moaning grr.
Questions: Do you like the entire post in your email or just a snippet? Would you prefer a newsletter of the recent posts once per week, or the current email for every post.

Sriracha BBQ Tofu Pizza with Pepper Jack on Spelt Crust. Vegan Recipe
Ingredients
No Rise Spelt Crust:
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp warm hot water
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp active yeast
- 3/4 cup spelt flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch , or arrow root starch
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Sriracha BBQ Tofu:
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce. Use my soy free BBQ sauce recipe and Chickpea Tofu to make the pizza soy-free., Or use blanched cauliflower or cooked chickpeas, and toss in the sauces to make soy-free
- 2 -3 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder or garlic paste
- 1 cup cubed firm or super firm tofu, pressed
Other toppings:
- sliced onions
- sliced red bell peppers
- pasta/marinara sauce or use more bbq sauce as base
- Use my Almond Milk Pepper Jack, or other vegan cheese shreds
Instructions
- Marinate the bbq Tofu: Press the tofu in paper towels well by hand or keep pressed in kitchen towel under a 10 lb weight for 15 mins. Add the sauces, garlic and pressed tofu in a bowl and let sit until ready to use.
- Make the Pizza dough: In a bowl, add water, yeast, maple. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes or until frothy. in another bowl, add the dry ingredients. Mix well and add to the yeast mixture. Add oil if using, mix and knead for 2 minutes or until smooth. Roll the dough out on parchment using a little flour if needed into a 12 to 13 inch oval. (roll it out using a rolling pin. Spelt dough does not work well with stretching like a regular pizza dough). Let rest near the oven (for at least 10 mins) while you preheat it to 450 degrees F / 230ºc
- Prep the veggies and get the sauce and other ingredients ready. Spread marinara on the shaped dough. Layer the onions, peppers, other veggies. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Add marinated tofu. Drizzle any leftover sriracha bbq sauce over the tofu. Add enough shredded Pepper Jack.
- Bake at pre-heated 450 deg F / 230ºc for 12 to 14 mins. Take the pizza out. Sprinkle chopped cilantro, slice and serve!
- Variations: bake the marinated tofu for 20 minutes until crispy and then add to the pizza.

That looks fantastical, Richa! And I love that the crust doesn’t need time to rise.
I like the whole post in an email so that I can see all the ingredients there instead of taking the extra step to see it online. It’s easier when I go shopping to see all the ingredients! I like the current email for every post. I like your recipes because they use easy to get ingredients. Keep up the good work!
This pizza looks amazing! Homemade pizza is a regular meal at our house but lately I am a bit tired of my usual pizza dough…will be trying your recipe next time!
Gorgeous pizza. I know my boys would love the heat of this dish too. I have not yet cooked or baked with spelt flour and I hope I can find some here in HK as this dish looks amazing. Take Care, BAM
this looks fricken amazing.
This pizza looks gorgeous! I will be trying it soon.
I prefer to read posts on the blog instead of in email. Often the font is so small in the emails that it’s difficult to read.
Wow, this looks too good to be true!
This looks like a pizza that both my boyfriend and I would enjoy! Personally, I like the way you’ve been doing the emails – just a part of the post, and one for every post. I like actually coming to your website, and I get excited every time I read a mouth watering title in the subject line!
I prefer the entire post text in the email. I don’t have a preference between daily emails and weekly emails – I guess weekly emails would be better, but only as long as the emails include a link to every new post (and not just a few) – I don’t want to miss anything! Even when I can’t get to cooking, I like to ogle the pictures. 🙂
Just made your pepper jack cheese—yum! I was going to use it to make a zucchini casserole with panko on top, but now must make this. Even have spelt, thanks to you. Will probably put some shrooms on top since I have a lot of them right now.
Sorry about your blogging problems—it certainly doesn’t show.
To answer your questions, just a snippet is fine in e-mail and then going on to the website. I also like to get an e-mail whenever you post. But I’m not anal about my e-mail like some people are. However you want to do it is fine—you are providing such a wondrous service…I am just grateful..whatever is easiest for you.
