Vegan Pizza

Ingredients

Dough:

• 4 cups bread flour

• 1 ⅓ cups warm water

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon oil, for greasing pan

• 1 teaspoon cornmeal, or as needed

• 1 (14 ounce) can vegan pizza sauce

• ½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced

• 1 onion, sliced

• 20 kalamata olives, sliced

• oregano, or to taste

• 1 pinch crushed red pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as desired

1. Mix bread flour, water, 3 tablespoons olive oil, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl; when the dough pulls together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

2. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

3. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 14-inch pizza pans with 1 teaspoon oil; lightly dust each pan with cornmeal.

4. Divide dough in half and roll out into 2 thin rounds. Transfer each round to a prepared pizza pan.

5. Spread pizza sauce over dough; top with mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives, and oregano. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

6. Bake pizzas in the preheated oven until crust is golden and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Garnish with crushed red pepper.
