It’s not delivery, it’s my vegan pizza recipe! Move over takeout pizza because this is easy to make, cheaper than storebought and fully customizable. Today, I’m going to teach you How To Make Vegan Pizza (Dough).
If you have a stand mixer, this recipe will be no problem. You can easily double the ingredients if you’re feeding a crowd or want to save extra dough for future meals. Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months so freeze it and bring it out when you need it.
You know me and I’ve said it before, toppings is my favourite part! This is your chance to get creative. I did not list the toppings I use becausee you can choose whatever you desire. For me, pineapple is non-negotiable. It needs to be on a pizza! Be careful of adding toppings that are wet or carry any liquid because than can weigh down the pizza and create a soggy texture. Keep it light and fresh.
Try this at home on your own or with friends. Spend the evening hosting a pizza party and see who makes the best pizza!
