Recipe Description
Indulge in the ultimate culinary delight with our artisanal Vegan Pizza, a masterpiece of flavors and textures that promises to enchant your taste buds. At the heart of this gastronomic creation lies a handcrafted, airy, and tender crust, golden-baked to perfection, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. Slathered generously upon this base is a rich, zesty tomato sauce, seasoned with a blend of aromatic herbs that evoke the essence of Italian countryside.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (substitute with bread flour for a crispier crust)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce (you can choose a homemade or store-bought variety)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Toppings of choice (suggested: sliced bell peppers, red onions, black olives, mushrooms)
- Fresh arugula, for garnish (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Red pepper flakes, for serving (optional)
Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Add flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness and shape.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Season with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and add your chosen toppings.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
- After baking, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before adding fresh arugula (if using), drizzling with olive oil, and sprinkling red pepper flakes.
