Pizza Base

Method

Prepare the Pizza Base

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    While the dough is rising, chop the roma tomatoes, green bell pepper, yellow onion, and mushrooms into small, even pieces.

  2. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped green bell pepper, yellow onion, and mushrooms in a little olive oil for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 7

    Prepare Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 8

    Prepare Banana Peppers

    Slice the banana peppers into rings and set aside.

Assemble and Bake Pizza

  1. 9

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. 10

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 11

    Transfer to Baking Sheet

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it is evenly spread out.

  4. 12

    Add Sauce (optional)

    If desired, spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the dough.

  5. 13

    Layer Toppings

    Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables, chopped roma tomatoes, banana pepper rings, and shredded smoked provolone cheese over the dough.

  6. 14

    Bake Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 15

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your Very Vegy Pizza!
