Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Plant-based sausage, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Sliced bell peppers
- 0.5 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 0.25 cup Sliced red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture, and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot 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 roll it out on a floured surface to form a round pizza base about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the plant-based sausage crumbles, bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion across the top.
Sprinkle the pizza with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
