Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush the edges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.

Step 4

Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the tomato sauce to distribute the heat evenly.

Step 5

Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and place them evenly over the sauce.

Step 6

Slice the spicy vegan sausage and distribute the slices evenly on the pizza.

Step 7

Evenly place the thinly sliced red onion, banana peppers, and jalapeño pepper slices across the pizza.

Step 8

Season the pizza with salt and black pepper for added flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake the pizza for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the hot pizza before slicing and serving.
