Method

1. Combine dry active yeast with sugar and pour in warm water. Stir until yeast is dissolved and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour and olive oil. When yeast is ready (if yeast is not foamy start over) mix into dry ingredients.
3. Knead dough on flat surface. Coat the bowl you just used with a dash of olive oil and place dough back in bowl. Cover with a small towel and set in a warm room for two hours.
4. In a small pan on medium heat combine all ingredients for bbq sauce. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes stirring occasionally.
5. Once sauce is ready cover and remove from heat. Combine all ingredients for cashew cheese into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside when finished.
6. Combine all ingredients for tempah bacon into a small bowl excluding tempah. Stir well and then add tempeh. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
7. Heat a pan on medium heat and cook tempeh for 3 minutes each side. Preheat oven to 375°. Grab dough and form into desired size on a baking sheet.
8. Top with sauce. Followed by cheese, bacon, and toppings. Place pizza back in oven for 15 minutes.
9. Once time is up, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and enjoy.
