Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Water (warm)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Vegan mozzarella cheese (shredded or block form)
- 0.75 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Bell peppers (sliced)
- 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 1 cup Spinach (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon (or using your hands) until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or a large baking sheet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the pizza.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions (if making two smaller pizzas) or use the entire dough for one large pizza. Roll out the dough into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
To create the stuffed crust, lay a circle of vegan mozzarella cheese about 1 inch from the edge of the dough. Carefully fold the edge of the dough over the cheese, pressing to seal it in place.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to handle. Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the pizza base, leaving the stuffed crust edge uncovered.
Top the pizza with sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, red onions, black olives, and spinach, or your preferred plant-based toppings.
Sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil evenly over the toppings for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza (still on the parchment paper) to the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked through.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
