Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 6

Punch down the dough, then roll or stretch it into a 12-inch circle on a pizza peel or parchment paper.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dairy-free shredded mozzarella over the sauce.

Step 9

Arrange the sliced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and black olives) evenly on top of the cheese.

Step 10

Sprinkle the oregano, basil, and garlic powder over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 11

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or place the parchment paper directly on a baking sheet.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice, and serve!
