Here are two simple vegan pizza dough recipes
1. Basic Vegan Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat your oven to the desired temperature for baking pizza.
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air and transfer it to a floured surface.
7. Divide the dough into portions (depending on the size and number of pizzas you want to make).
8. Roll out each portion of dough into a round shape, adding more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
9. Place the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.
