Recipe #67 Vegan Homemade Pizza

Shopping list


  • 175 gr of plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 7 gr fast action yeast
  • 120 ml warm water
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1 tomato
  • 3-6 mushrooms (depending on size)
  • 1/2 onion
  • 100 gr of Sheese
  • 1/2 tube tomato pure
  • garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • oregano dry (1 teaspoon)
  • cayenne pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • freshly ground black pepper (2x turns)



Method

Start off 2h before with the dough.
Place the flour in a bowl, the yeast on one side of the flour, sugar and salt on the other (don't mix the salt and the yeast as this might kill the yeast), olive oil and water and carefully stir with a wooden spoon. Stir until it form a ball of dough that loosens from the bowl. Cover with a cloth and leave it to rest for at least 1h30. It should grow in size.

In a small saucepan add the tomato pure, dash of water, garlic powder, oregano and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper and heat it up until the paste is smooth.

Grate the sheese. I used the cheddar style sheese:


take the dough and place a bit of flour on your hands, rolling pin and clean surface. Roll the dough very thin and round shaped. Make the edges by rolling a big the dough up, place it on a pizza oven tray or some aluminum foil and bake for 8 min at 220o C
Take this out and place the tomato pure paste, then the sheese, 1/2 red pepper sliced, tomato sliced, onion rings and mushroom slices. Sprinkle with oregano and bake for another 10min at 220o C.

This should give you a big pizza, enough for a meal of 2 people.
