Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup canned tomato sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1.5 cups vegan mozzarella cheese
• 6 slices vegetarian ham slices
• 0.5 medium, sliced red onion
• 0.5 small, sliced green bell pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it stand for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add 2 cups of flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

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 5

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit your desired pizza pan or stone.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pan.

Step 8

Spread the tomato sauce over the dough evenly. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder.

Step 9

Evenly distribute the vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 10

Lay the vegetarian ham slices evenly over the cheese, followed by red onion slices and green bell pepper slices.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 12

Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 13

Slice and serve hot.
