Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (not hot), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
- Add olive oil and salt. Gradually mix in the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed if the dough is sticky.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Make the Sauce:
- While the dough rises, mix together crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Prepare the Toppings:
- Wash and slice all vegetables: bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, olives, spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
- Shred or slice your vegan cheese.
- If using vegan meats, slice or crumble as needed.
-
Shape the Pizza:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a 12-inch round or rectangle, depending on your pan.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
-
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle evenly with vegan mozzarella.
- Add your favorite veggies and vegan meats in an even layer.
- Top with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- If you like a crispier crust, bake directly on the rack for the last 2-3 minutes.
-
Finish & Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for a minute.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil and slice with a pizza cutter.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
For an extra boost of flavor, brush the crust with olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder before baking. It’s a Domino’s-inspired secret!
Tips & Variations
- Make Ahead: Dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before shaping.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free crust.
- Cheese Choices: Try vegan cheddar or smoked gouda for a unique twist, or make your own cashew mozzarella for a creamy melt.
- Spicy Lovers: Add sliced jalapeños, crushed red pepper, or even a swirl of hot sauce before serving.
- Protein Boost: Top with vegan sausage, seitan strips, or marinated tofu for extra protein.
- Herbaceous Touch: Garnish with fresh oregano, parsley, or arugula after baking.
- Mini Pizzas: Divide the dough into smaller balls for individual pizzas—fun for kids or parties!
- Leftover Love: Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or skillet for best results.
