Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Bread flour
- 325 milliliters Water
- 10 grams Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 200 grams Tomato passata
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 200 grams Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the water.
Sprinkle the instant yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Mix the ingredients together until you form a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into four equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball, cover them again, and let them rest for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to the highest setting (usually around 250°C or 482°F) and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat.
For each pizza, roll out a dough ball on a floured surface to your preferred thickness.
Spread 50 grams of tomato passata over each pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tear the vegan mozzarella cheese and distribute it evenly over the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle 5 fresh basil leaves on each pizza.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each pizza.
Season with a pinch of fresh ground black pepper.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 7-8 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan Neapolitan pizza!
