In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast and water. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the spelt flour, veggie broth, avocado oil and sea salt. Add the water and yeast mixture and stir until just combined. Let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375º F.

Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes, until the dough is crisping and the cheese is melted.
