What do I need to make vegan pizza

Try out this restaurant-style Vegan pizza recipe. It delivers the most delicious crust & it’s crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

For the pizza dough, you will need warm water, fast-acting yeast, all-purpose flour, olive oil, sugar, and salt.

You can top your pizza with anything you would like so get creative!! I like keeping it simple and adding marinara sauce, dried herbs, fresh basil, vegan mozzarella, or whatever cheese you desire.

Ingredients:

  • yeast
  • all-purpose flour
  • olive oil
  • agave syrup or sugar
  • garlic powder
  • warm water
  • marinara sauce
  • vegan mozzarella cheese
  • vegan salami
  • basil
  • Italian seasoning

How To make this recipe

  • First, you’ll need to preheat your oven to as hot as it goes!
  • In a small bowl, stir the yeast and ½ tablespoon sugar into warmed water until dissolved. Let it sit until it’s foamy for about 7-10 minutes.
  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot or it won’t work. If the yeast doesn’t foam up after 7- 10 minutes, start with a new packet.
  • In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, and remaining sugar. Now whisk to combine well. Add the activated yeast to the bowl along with the olive oil. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a couple of tablespoons of flour
  • Form the dough into a ball and place back in the bowl (*lightly dust bowl with flour before placing the dough ball in). Completely cover the bowl with a damp napkin or hand towel for 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size.
  • Bring parchment paper and dust it with flour so you can spread your dough easily. Cut the dough in half using a wet knife. This recipe makes two pizzas and I make one pizza at a time. While one is cooking, I’ll prepare the other
  • Using your hands, spread dough across the parchment paper into a round pizza shape to your desired thickness.
  • Now, spread the sauce evenly with a spoon over the pizza and top with Vegan Mozzarella.
  • Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. The pizza cooks really fast so make sure you keep an eye on it.
  • When it comes out of the oven, I like to sprinkle it with fresh-cut basil. Fresh thyme is nice too!
