Ingredients

• 1 ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Vegan sausage crumbles
• 1.5 cups Vegan mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness and size.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel if using a pizza stone.

Step 4

Brush the dough lightly with the olive oil, particularly around the edges to ensure a crispy crust.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Sprinkle the vegan sausage crumbles evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Scatter the thinly sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms over the top of the sausage crumbles.

Step 8

Top the vegetables with vegan mozzarella cheese, ensuring to cover the toppings evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the cheese.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza off the peel and directly onto the stone.

Step 11

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Classic Sausage Pizza!
