Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • tsp Dry Yeast
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • tsp Salt
  • cup Warm Water
  • ¼ cup Parmesan
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 4.2 oz package Vegan pepperoni
  • 1 cup Vegan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Add flour, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to a large bowl. Blend properly.
  • Add the oil and warm water. Until a mixture that resembles a thick pancake forms, stir with a silicone spatula.
  • Using a spatula, add an extra cup of flour to the mixture. Only enough to ensure that the mixture holds together on its own.
  • Flour a flat surface, then transfer the dough mixture from your bowl to it using a little flour in your hand.
  • Once the dough is lump-free, stop kneading and add another few cups of flour. Avoid overworking the dough.
  • Put the dough in a bowl, then wrap it in a kitchen towel (or other kitchen towel that is large enough to cover the bowl completely).
  • For 45-60 minutes, let the dough in a bowl sit, covered. (We recommend waiting until 60 minutes, but if you need to use it sooner, do so.)
  • With a pizza stone inside, preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Flour a large parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough out onto a floured surface. and spread out with your hands into approximately a 17-inch diameter.
  • Prick the pizza with a fork all over, excluding the edge, which will serve as the crust.
  • Add your pizza sauce, dairy-free shredded vegan pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, and any extra toppings you'd like to use to the top.
  • While still on parchment paper, bake the dairy-free pizza dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Let it cool. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • Use a high-quality pizza dough recipe: A good pizza starts with a good crust. Look for a recipe that uses high-quality ingredients. And which provides clear instructions for mixing, kneading, and rising the dough.
 
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to a high temperature. Around 425-450°F. A hot oven will help to create a crispy crust and ensure that the pizza cooks.
 
  • Use vegan pepperoni: Look for high-quality vegan pepperoni that contains plant-based ingredients. Also, it has a similar texture and flavour to traditional pepperoni. There are many options available at most grocery stores and online.
 
  • Don't overload the pizza: When it comes to toppings, less is often more. Overloading the pizza with a lot of toppings can make it soggy and difficult to cook. Therefore, opt for a few key toppings, such as tomato sauce, vegan cheese, and vegan pepperoni.
 
  • Experiment with different cheeses: There are many delicious vegan cheese options available. From mozzarella to cheddar to feta. Experiment with different types to find the one that works best. As per your taste preferences.
 
  • Cook the pizza on a pizza stone: For an extra crispy crust, consider cooking the pizza on a pizza stone. This will help to create a restaurant-quality pizza with a perfectly cooked crust.
 
  • Allow the pizza to cool a little before slicing: Once the pizza comes out of the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes before you slice it. This will help the cheese to set. In addition, it allows the toppings to settle, making it easier to cut and serve.
