Instructions
Pizza Sauce
- Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Using your hand massage the spices into the tomatoes breaking up any pieces.
- Set aside for a few minutes to allow flavors to seep into the sauce.
- Sauce is ready to use or store in a closed container in the fridge or you can freeze it as well. This does make sauce for about two pizzas.
Pizza Dough
- In a large bowl mix all of the dry ingredients together.
- In a smaller bowl mix the wet ingredients together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until you get a sticky dough.
- Work the dough either in the bowl the best you can or turn onto a non flour surface to knead until smooth.
- Oil the inside of a large bowl and place your dough in the bowl. Cover with saran and place in a warm place for about an hour.
- The dough will rise slightly but not double in size.
- While the dough is rising prepare your ingredients that you want to put on your pizza.
- I slice up mushrooms, green, red and yellow peppers, white onion, spinach and slice tomatoes.
Assemble Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- if using a cookie sheet place a piece of parchment paper on it or you can cook it on a pizza stone.
- Spread the dough to the size and thickness you like, creating an edge around the pizza.
- Spread some olive oil on the dough and assemble the veggies as you wish and sprinkle some vegan cheese if you wish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 16-20 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is golden.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
