Tools you'll need: large bowl, fork, pizza peel, inverted cookie sheet, oven mitts, wire rack, if not baking on a stone, then an inverted cookie sheet is recommended so the bottom doesn't get soggy from the moisture of the sauce.
|
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
- 1 cup water
- Toppings of your choice! Suggestions include: marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade), vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni, guacamole, mushroom, black olives, coconut bacon bits (yes, it’s vegan!), tortilla chips, peppers, pineapple, spinach, caramelised / fried onions, sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, celery, or any other sautéed vegetables you fancy!
- Preheat the oven to 500° F (if you have a pizza stone then get it in the oven now). If you're using an inverted cookie sheet, place that on your stovetop burner and crank it up to high for a few minutes while you prepare your dough.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil and use a fork to stir it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in 1 cup of very warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic (add more flour if it's too sticky).
- If using a pizza stone, shape the dough into a round and transfer it to a lightly floured pizza peel, then proceed with your toppings and baking (see below). If you're using a cookie sheet, lightly oil it and shape the dough into a 14-inch-round directly on top of it; brush the surface generously with olive oil and proceed with your toppings and baking.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your vegan pizza!
