Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients, and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean 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).

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to form a circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 10

Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, mushrooms, red onion, and black olives on top of the cheese.

Step 11

Sprinkle the pizza with oregano and black pepper.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy your Vegan Classic Vegetarian Pizza!
