-The cooking process liquifies the jelly to spread it more evenly across the crust. If you would like to spread the jelly across the crust before cooking, recommend warming jelly in the microwave for 20-25 seconds. Spreading while room temp or cold will ruin the crust.
-If you'd like to be able to see the jelly from the top of the finished product, recommend 3/4 dough mix on crust and sprinkle remaining 1/4 on top (rather than 2/3 to 1/3).
