Start by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
While the dough is rising, prepare the vegetable toppings. Slice the red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini into thin strips. Slice the mushrooms and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the sauce for a cheesy flavor.
Evenly distribute the dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced vegetables and baby spinach on top of the pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Dairy-Free Garden Pizza Slice!
