Pizza Making Tips For Success:

• You want the water warm but not boiling (which could kill the yeast). If you have a food thermometer, it should be about 110 F.
• The 1 tsp sugar is a small amount, but do include it (use real sugar, not stevia or erythritol), because it feeds the yeast.
• The crust will rise more if using white flour or bread flour as opposed to spelt or whole wheat, so roll it out extra thin for traditional crust, or leave thick for deep dish or Sicilian pizza (also known as “sfincione,” which is Italian for “thick sponge”).
• You can also make the dough into rolls instead of a pizza crust. Preheat the oven to 400 F, and bake the rolls 10 minutes.

Plant based pizza has come a long way in the past decade.

In addition to homemade, there are so many vegan frozen pizza options now on the market, including brands such as Daiya, Amy’s Kitchen, Sweet Earth, and American Flatbread.

And more and more restaurants and chains—such as Mellow Mushroom, &pizza, zpizza, and Blaze Pizza— also offer vegan cheese for their in-house or delivery pies. (Note: Dominos, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s don’t carry vegan cheese or meat yet, although they do have vegan options if you specify no cheese on your slice.)
