Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 150 ml Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 400 grams Canned whole tomatoes
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 150 grams Plant-based mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Artichoke hearts
• 100 grams Mushrooms
• 50 grams Black olives
• 10 grams Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Slowly add in the warm water and olive oil, stirring consistently until a dough begins to form.

Step 2

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 3

While the dough is rising, prepare the tomato sauce. In a blender, add canned tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a baking tray inside to heat.

Step 5

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and transfer back to a floured surface. Roll out the dough to your preferred thickness to form a pizza base.

Step 6

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly across the pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the plant-based mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.

Step 8

Top with sliced artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, and black olives.

Step 9

Carefully remove the hot baking tray from the oven and place your pizza on it. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.

Step 10

Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, scatter fresh basil leaves on top, and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Vegan Pizza Capricciosa.
