Vegan Pizza: It’s mostly about the crust!

A few days ago, Sarah perfected her pizza crust. It’s pretty amazing. I’m not at all one for baking, so I’m glad she thought of something. She posted about it on her blog and here it is on mine as well!

The dough before baking!


Here’s what you will need…
-2 1/2 tsp yeast (or one small packet)
-3 cups unbleached flour
-1/3 cup warm water
-1 tsp salt
-1 cup warm water

One big sticky ball of dough

And here’s how to do it!

*preheat your oven to 200 degrees

1) Add the 1/3 cup warm water to the yeast in a small cup. Mix the yeast and water until it’s dissolved and then let it stand for about 10 minutes. While you’re waiting measure out your flour and salt in a medium sized bowl.

2) After 10 minutes, add the yeast mixture to the flour. Mix together with a fork.

3) Add 1/2 cup of warm water and again mix.

4) Add another 1/2 cup of warm water and now kneed with your hands until it’s one big sticky ball of dough.

5) Cover with a towel and place in over for about 10 minutes.

6) After ten minutes, remove from oven and let rise for another 10 minutes.

7) Set the oven heat to 450 degrees.

8) Sprinkle some flour on a baking sheet and gently pry the dough from the bowl. You’ll probably need to sprinkle some flour on the dough so it doesn’t stick to your hands and it doesn’t stick to the bowl again.

9) When the dough is out of the bowl, gently powder it with some more flour and stretch it out a bit. Now you can put it on the baking sheet and stretch it to the edge of the sheet.

10) All you have to do after this is add your sauce and vegan cheese! Try mine!

11) You only have to bake the pizza for about 8-10 minutes. the crust will be done, but it’s not too hard! of course you can bake the pizza longer depending on your likes and needs.

Pie's done!

That looks so good and it’s square too, so it looks like yummy school lunch pizza from the 80’s. Speaking of the 80’s, I really want Pizza Hut pan pizza crust circa 1985ish. That was seriously good pizza crust. Sarah’s looks great though!!! Our oven blew up a few weeks ago during a power surge, so sad! :-(

I totally agree with the pizza hut circa 1985. It was amazing.

This has a slight taste of school lunch pizza. But in a good way. There’s a nostalgia to it. My sauce promotes that a bit as well.

Sorry about your oven. I’m not sure what I would do… especially living in PA.
