I didn't plan for a pizza for dinner, but arriving home I found a hungry omnivore that wanted to feed.
VEGAN PIZZA
Serves: 2
The dough:
250 g flour
200 ml warm water
42 g yeast (+ a sprinkle of sugar + 100 ml warm water)
salt
a spoon of olive oil
In bowl place the flour and sprinkle lightly with salt. Separately mix the yeast with sugar and water, stir well and let the yeast dissolve, then place a napkin on top of your bowl or glass and let the yeast rise - 5 or 10 minutes. Then pour the yeast onto the flour, add olive oil and the remaining warm water, mix well with a fork and the proceed to kneading by hand. Form a ball, cover your bowl with a napkin and let the dough rise for half an hour.
Meanwhile prepare your pizza toppings.
For a vegan option choose various veggies and slice them. I had on hand
zucchini
red bell pepper
corn
tomato sauce
If you have any decent cheese replacement, place on top of your sliced veggies. I have none that I like, so I make my pizza cheeseless. Eggplants and fresh tomatoes work well too.
For your omnivores, you know what works: ham & cheese, you can add veggies too.
Your dough should have risen to double size by now. Uncover the bowl, remove the dough and place it on the counter, covered with flour. Knead the dough some more, then cut the dough in two, to produce 2 pizzas.
Roll each half of the dough out to form a circle, then place your dough in a baking tray. Repeat with the second half.
Spread the dough with tomato sauce, then place your veggies on top and put the pizza in your preheated (200°C) oven. Bake for 15 minutes and enjoy! If your pizza turns out a bit bland, just add salt & pepper to taste.
