Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Sliced cherry tomatoes
Instructions
To prepare the pizza dough, dissolve one packet of active dry yeast and one teaspoon of sugar in one cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it's frothy.
In a large bowl, combine two and a half cups of all-purpose flour and one teaspoon of salt. Add the yeast mixture and two tablespoons of olive oil to the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to form a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal, if using a pizza stone.
For the sauce, combine 0.75 cup tomato sauce with 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon basil, and 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir well.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of dairy-free mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top with 10 fresh basil leaves and 0.5 cup of sliced cherry tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
