Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Toppings:
- 1 1/4 cups vegan mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 6–8 green olives, pitted and sliced
- 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
- Red chili flakes, oregano, and basil to taste
Instructions
- Make the Dough: Combine flour, salt, yeast, water, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix until a dough forms. Cover and let rise overnight in a warm place.
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Shape the Dough: Transfer the risen dough to the hot pan. Use your fingers to stretch it out to the edges of the pan. Let rest for 15 minutes, then repeat until the dough covers the pan.
- Prepare Toppings: Sauté mushrooms in a pan until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble Pizza: Add half of the vegan mozzarella to the dough. Top with tomato sauce, sautéed mushrooms, green olives, and remaining mozzarella.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Sprinkle with red chili flakes, oregano, and basil before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red chili flakes.
- You can customize the toppings to include your favorite vegetables.
