Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 7 grams of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Step 2
Gradually add 200 milliliters of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven for preheating.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a round shape on a floured surface to fit a 12-inch pizza pan.
Step 7
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel lined with parchment paper or directly onto the pizza pan.
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine 200 grams of tomato sauce with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1 crushed garlic clove. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
Step 9
Sprinkle 150 grams of vegan mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Step 10
Slice 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 small onion, then distribute them over the cheese.
Step 11
Cut 10 black olives in half and scatter them over the pizza.
Step 12
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the pan into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
Step 13
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish it with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.
