Classic Vegan Margherita Pizza

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

2. 2

   Roll out the vegan pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch thick for a standard crust.

3. 3

   Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal, or to a baking sheet if you don't have a pizza stone.

4. 4

   Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

5. 5

   Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the sauce.

6. 6

   Evenly distribute the vegan mozzarella cheese over the basil and sauce.

7. 7

   Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the top of the pizza and sprinkle with sea salt.

8. 8

   Carefully transfer the pizza from the peel to the preheated pizza stone, or place the baking sheet in the oven if using one.

9. 9

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and is slightly browned.

10. 10

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegan Margherita Pizza!
