Ingredients

• 120 g Active sourdough starter
• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Whole wheat flour
• 200 ml Water
• 10 ml Olive oil
• 5 g Salt
• 120 ml Vegan marinara sauce
• 100 g Vegan shredded cheese
• 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 100 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 80 g Sliced mushrooms
• 50 g Spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, water, olive oil, and salt. Stir well until combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to the bowl while mixing. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

Step 3

Place the dough into a clean, oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise at room temperature for 3–4 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions (one for each pizza). Roll out each portion into a thin, round pizza base on a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Carefully place one dough round on a parchment paper-lined tray or pizza peel for easy transfer to the hot oven.

Step 7

Spread half of the vegan marinara sauce onto the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the vegan shredded cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by half of the cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach leaves.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Repeat the process with the second pizza.

Step 11

Slice and serve the vegan sourdough pizza warm. Enjoy!
