Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine's manufacturer.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour on top of the liquid ingredients, making sure it forms a mound and does not mix with the liquid yet.

Step 3

Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the water at this stage.

Step 4

Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start. The cycle will typically take about 90 minutes, including kneading and a rise time.

Step 5

Once the bread machine completes the cycle, remove the dough from the pan and transfer it to a lightly floured countertop. Gently punch it down to release any air bubbles.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions if you want two smaller pizza shells or leave it as one piece for a larger pizza shell.

Step 7

Roll out each portion into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference, until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). While the oven is preheating, let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow it to rise slightly.

Step 9

Parbake the pizza shells for 5 minutes to ensure a crisp crust. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before adding your desired vegan toppings.

Step 10

Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are heated through.

Step 11

Slice and serve your homemade vegan pizza. Enjoy!
