Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 package Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to form your pizza base.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced red onion, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and black olives on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top for a cheesy flavor.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
