Homemade Vegan Pizza
Ingredients
- dough
- 3 cups flour (360g)
- 1 packet of yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- vegan cheese
- 1/2 cauliflower (375g)
- 3.5 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1-2 tsp salt
- add salt to taste preferences
- 1/2-1 cup non-dairy milk, unsweetened and no flavor (i used 3/4 cup)
- pizza sauce
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp parsley
- 1/4 oregano
- a pinch red pepper flakes
Preparation
Warm the water up to 110-115f (43-46c)
I usually put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and that is good
You can use a thermometer to check or i test it with my finger for the temperature of a very hot bath
Pour the sugar and yeast packet int the water and set it aside for 10 minutes
The yeast will get foamy and start to smell
Sift in 1/2 the flour and salt into a big bowl
I like to add the flour in halves so i do not add too much
Some days you may need more or less flour
Add the olive oil and activated yeast in
Begin to gently mix
Continuously adding in the rest of the flour and mixing
The dough should look somewhat sticky
With clean hands and a clean, floured surface begin to knead the dough
You will only knead it for about a minute
If you find the dough is too sticky add a little extra flour
If it seems too dry add a little extra water
Dough should be smooth and soft
Form the dough into a ball
Place into an oiled bowl
Cover with a dish towel and set it aside for at least 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size
While the dough rises, cut the cauliflower into small chunks
Boil on the stove until fork tender
Drain the cooked cauliflower and the rest of the cheese ingredients to a high speed blender
Start with 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk and add more as needed
The less non-dairy milk you can use the better
