Vegan Garlic Bread Pizza

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the salt and instant yeast

Pour in the warm water (not hot) and mix into a big ball of dough

Flour your hands liberally and then begin to knead the dough, adding flour in at regular intervals while you knead the dough to stop it sticking to your hands

Knead for 4-5 minutes

At the end the dough should be very tacky but not at all inclined to stick to your hands anymore

Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise for 1 hour

Cut out two pieces of parchment paper to roughly the same size as your pizza stone, and then place your pizza stone into the cold oven

Switch on the oven and turn it to 460°f (240°c) and allow the oven and pizza stone to heat together for 1 hour

When the dough has risen after an hour, divide it into two balls

Dust some flour onto the first sheet of parchment paper that you cut out, place the ball of dough on top and then roll it out with a rolling pin to the edges of the parchment paper

The dough may be inclined to keep pulling back, just keep rolling it out

Slide the pizza with the parchment paper underneath it onto a wooden board

Open the oven and carefully slide the pizza with the parchment paper from the wooden board onto the blazing hot pizza stone as quickly as you can and close the oven

Bake for 8 minutes

After 8 minutes open the oven and using a spatula gently lift the pizza up, it should be lightly browned underneath

If it’s lightly browned underneath and the toppings are nicely melted, then it’s done

Get the wooden board and carefully pull on the parchment paper to transfer the pizza and parchment paper back onto the wooden board

Allow the oven and pizza stone a little time to heat up again to full heat between pizzas before repeating the process with the second pizza

Brush with garlic oil, oil, fresh parsley and salt

Enjoy!
