Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (or homemade dough) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Vegan marinara sauce
- 1 package Vegan bacon
- 1.5 cups Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crisp crust and ensure oven racks are in the middle position.
If using refrigerated pizza dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, while you prepare other ingredients.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thinness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet coated with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy from the toppings.
Spread the vegan marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the crust, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
Chop the vegan bacon into small bite-sized pieces. In a small pan, fry the vegan bacon over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil for about 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
Evenly distribute the vegan bacon over the marinara sauce, followed by the vegan mozzarella cheese.
Add the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper evenly over the toppings to enhance the flavors.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is well melted.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a burst of flavor and color.
Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious vegan bacon pizza!
