Ingredients

• 500 grams 00 flour
• 325 ml Warm water
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 400 grams Canned San Marzano tomatoes
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 6 Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 tbsp Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Create a well in the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix together until a dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the sauce by blending the canned San Marzano tomatoes with minced garlic and 0.5 teaspoons of salt until smooth.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to its highest temperature, ideally above 475°F (250°C), with a pizza stone inside if available.

Step 7

Punch down the dough after rising and divide it into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 8

On a floured surface, stretch out a dough ball gently with your hands or a rolling pin until you achieve a thin, round shape.

Step 9

Place the stretched dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Spread half of the tomato sauce over the base, leaving a small border at the edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over the sauce to replace traditional cheese and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 11

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the crust is golden and the edges have puffed up.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves.

Step 13

Repeat with the second dough ball and remaining sauce, nutritional yeast, and basil. Serve hot.
