Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cup warm water (use more if needed)
  • 1 packet quick-rising yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3 cups flour (You can use all-purpose flour - I like to use white spelt flour.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 15 ounces pizza sauce (You might have a little left over, depending on how saucy you like your pizza)
  • 12 ounces Daiya dairy mozzarella shreds
  • 1 cup green pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup white mushrooms (thinly sliced)

Instruction

  • Put the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes to feed the yeast. It will look foamy.
  • Add the flour, salt, and olive oil and stir. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more water. Stir the dough until it comes together into a ball.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 45 minutes in a warm place so the dough can rise.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Get two pizza pans ready. You could also use a large sheet pan.
  • When the dough has at least doubled in size, put a little oil on your hands and take the dough and stretch it to fit on your pizza pans. Brush a little more olive oil over the top of the crust.
  • Bake the crusts alone for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with marinara sauce, vegan cheese shreds, and the vegetables.
  • Bake at 450 degrees F for about 15-18 minutes, until the crust is golden brown on the edges and the cheese melts.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
