Easy Vegan Personal Pizzas

Personal pizzas always taste so much better than regular ones in my opinion. Maybe it's just in my head or because they are more fun to eat :) I love choosing all my toppings and spices for each one differently so I have a variety of flavors. Making homemade pizza dough may sound a bit intimidating but it really isn't hard to do at all! This is a very simple recipe that everyone can make!

Ingredients:

pizza crust

• 4 cup unbleached all purpose flour

• 1 tsp coconut sugar

• 1 packet of active dry yeast

• 1 tsp salt

• 1.5 cups warm water

• 2 tbs olive oil (optional for a lighter, crispier crust)

toppings (use what you like, these are just my favorites)

• Tomato sauce (Here's my recipe, you can also use store bought. Just check labels!)

• Spinach

• Roasted red pepper

• Cooked broccoli

• parsley

• Roasted tomato

• Nutritional yeast

• Italian spices

• Red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached or a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, & yeast, mix

2. Incorporate the salt into the dry mixture

3. Add the warm water & oil

4. Mix until a dough ball forms. You are looking for a firm dough that isn't sticky when touched. You may need to add a few tablespoons of water or flour depending on your consitency

5. If you are using a stand mixer, use a fairly high speed & mix for 2-3 minutes until the ball is stiff & bounces back when pressed

6. If you are doing it by hand, turn the dough out onto a well floured surface & kneed for 5-10 minutes

7. Place the dough back into the bowl & cover with a towel. Place in a warm place for about 1 hour & a half to rise, you can leave it for longer to develop more flavor too

8. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 425 degrees

9. Dump the dough out onto a floured surface & give it few kneeds

10. Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces depending on how big or small you want your pizzas to be

11. Flatten out the dough pieces with a rolling pin or use your hands to work the dough from the center out to create a nice round with thick crust

12. Place on a greased or nonstick pan & bake for 10 minutes

13. Take the crust out & load on your toppings of chioce

14. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown & the toppings are hot

15. Cut up and enjoy with extra nooch or Vegan Parmesan!
