Instructions
Preparation of the pizza dough
- Mix flour, dry yeast, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add lukewarm water in portions and knead into a firm, somewhat sticky dough. Then knead the dough for about 7 minutes until it becomes elastic.
- Cover the dough in the mixing bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
Preparation of the tomato sauce
- Puree strained tomatoes, garlic and basil with a blender to a homogeneous sauce, seasoning it with oregano, salt and pepper.
Preparation of the vegan cheese sauce
- Melt margarine in a small pan.
- Add flour and mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.
- Add water, yeast flakes, and turmeric powder, bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook, stirring if necessary, briefly until the mixture thickens. Season the sauce with salt as you go.
Bake vegan vegetable pizza
- Dust the work surface with flour, stretch out the pizza dough to about the size of the baking sheet, leaving about 1 - 2 cm thick edges, and place the patty on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the tomato sauce on the pizza dough, spread the yeast lard in batches on the tomato sauce and top the pizza with the vegetables. Brush the vegetables a little with olive oil and bake the vegetable pizza in a preheated oven at 250 °C top and bottom heat for about 10 minutes.
- Serve the vegan vegetable pizza with fresh, finely chopped herbs, for example basil, parsley.
Notes
- If your yeast melt has become too runny, add some more yeast flakes to it. If it has become too thick, you can dilute it with a little water.
- You can leave out the turmeric powder. It's just for color.
- I made a very large pizza with the pizza dough. You can also divide the dough into three parts and make three smaller pizzas.
- Depending on how thick the pizza dough is rolled out, the baking time given in the recipe may vary greatly.
