Ingredients

• 1 ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 15 slices Vegan pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with cornmeal or flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle using a rolling pin, ensuring the dough doesn’t stick to the surface.

Step 3

In a medium pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Set aside.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the tomato sauce.

Step 7

Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the sauce.

Step 8

Add the vegan pepperoni slices evenly across the pizza.

Step 9

Generously sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 11

Bake the pizza for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is gold and the cheese has melted.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
