Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 12 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese
- 8 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix warm water with sugar and sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add additional flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle or your preferred thickness.
Step 7
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
Step 8
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Step 9
Slice the cherry tomatoes and arrange them evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle with dairy-free mozzarella cheese and top with fresh basil leaves.
Step 10
Transfer the pizza to the hot oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free Pizza Margherita!
