Ingredients

• 1 package (or homemade dough) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Vegan marinara sauce
• 1 package Vegan bacon
• 1.5 cups Vegan mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crisp crust and ensure oven racks are in the middle position.

Step 2

If using refrigerated pizza dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thinness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet coated with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Brush the crust lightly with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy from the toppings.

Step 5

Spread the vegan marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the crust, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.

Step 6

Chop the vegan bacon into small bite-sized pieces. In a small pan, fry the vegan bacon over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil for about 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the vegan bacon over the marinara sauce, followed by the vegan mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Add the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper evenly over the toppings to enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is well melted.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 13

Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious vegan bacon pizza!
