Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 6-8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. 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) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough out into your desired pizza shape and thickness, usually about 12 inches in diameter for a thin crust.
Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Top your pizza base with your favorite vegan toppings and sauces.
Carefully transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) to the preheated stone or baking tray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and serve hot with your choice of vegan garnishes.
