Ingredients

1 teaspoon dried yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings

1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese freshly grated
1 cup vegan cheddar cheese freshly grated
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Whisk together the yeast and water in a heatproof jug. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until frothy.
Add the salt and flour into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Using your hands, mix the dough together until smooth.
Lightly flour a kitchen surface and transfer the dough onto it. Gently knead the dough several times.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with saran or plastic wrap. Set it aside in a warm area for 30 minutes to double in size.
Once the dough has doubled, transfer It onto a floured surface and knead again. Divide the dough into two portions. Freeze one to use later or make two pizzas.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
Roll out the ball of dough into a large pizza shape, approximately 12 inches. Place it on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the hot crust from the oven and Spread pizza sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the two kinds of vegan cheeses. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
Bake the pizza for another 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.

Notes

TO STORE: Leftover cooked pizza slices can be wrapped in plastic or foil and stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: Or freeze the leftovers for about 2 months. Frozen pizza dough will keep for up to 3 months.

TO THAW: Let the pizza slices thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating. Pizza dough should also be left to thaw in the fridge before rolling it out. This should take about 8 hours.

TO REHEAT: You can retain the pizza slice’s crispy crust by reheating them in a 350ºF oven, in a covered skillet on low, or a parchment-lined 350ºF air fryer for about 5 minutes.

Gluten Free: Swap out the flour for a gluten-free flour with added xanthan gum.
