Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 325 ml Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves Fresh basil
- 1 Bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, sliced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 150 grams Vegan mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Separately, in a smaller bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion out into a round shape on a lightly floured surface.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add canned crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Stir for 5-10 minutes to let flavors meld and then remove from heat.
Spread a ladle of tomato sauce evenly onto each rolled-out pizza base.
Scatter sliced bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, spinach, and fresh basil leaves over the sauce.
Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the toppings.
Carefully place prepared pizzas onto baking sheets or a pizza stone if available.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot.
