Ingredients
- 250 ml warm water
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 5 grams sugar
- 400 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams salt
- 30 ml olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 200 ml tomato sauce
- 200 grams dairy-free mozzarella-style shreds
- 150 grams sliced pepperoni (optional, ensure it's dairy-free)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Add all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, approximately 7-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Incorporate 30 ml olive oil into the dough, kneading until well integrated.
Step 5
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch rectangle baking pan with olive oil. Place the dough in the pan and stretch it to fill the entire base of the pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F).
Step 7
Gently press the risen dough to the edges again, ensuring an even thickness.
Step 8
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, covering the entire surface.
Step 9
Evenly distribute the dairy-free mozzarella-style shreds over the tomato sauce.
Step 10
Add sliced pepperoni evenly over the cheese layer if using.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted and golden.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
