Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour

• 180 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 120 milliliters Tomato sauce
• 150 grams Vegan mozzarella cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to let out any air bubbles and transfer it back to the floured surface.

Step 8

Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick, and place it on a piece of parchment paper.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the sauce.

Step 11

Spread the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.

Step 12

Transfer the pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet using the parchment paper.

Step 13

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 15

Slice and serve immediately.
