Instructions
Instructions
- If using our homemade pizza dough recipe, make the dough and proof it according to those instructions. When the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
- Slice the vegan pepperoni and the vegan mozzarella if they are not pre-sliced.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with semolina flour.
- Transfer the ball of dough to the semolina-dusted surface. If the dough is sticky, lightly dust the top with semolina or turn the dough over before shaping.
- Use your fingertips to gently press the center and stretch the dough into a circle, leaving the outer edge unpressed so it can form a bubbly crust.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and transfer the shaped dough to the tray, using your hands to lift and gently reshape if needed.
- Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving the outer crust edge free of sauce.
- Top the sauce with 4 oz vegan mozzarella, then arrange 3 oz vegan pepperoni over the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the outer crust develops color.

Use a pizza stone!
– We recommend using a
pizza stone
in the highest position of the oven since you will have the best pizza if you can manage to bake it on the highest heat possible. The pizza stone is already hot when you place the pizza dough on top resulting in a perfect crispy bottom crust. Read our
