Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 1/2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gradually incorporate the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as you knead the dough with your hands for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough ball inside, and cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking tray in the oven to heat up while you prepare the dough.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles, then transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape, ensuring it fits your baking tray or pizza stone.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling. Top with your favorite vegan pizza sauce, plant-based cheese, and toppings.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and serve hot!
