Ready in under an hour, this vegan-friendly pizza dough is ideal for family meals or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Vegan Pizza Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Crust Topping (optional)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when the pizza dough is prepared.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, and garlic powder until evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the unsweetened almond milk (or water), apple cider vinegar, and olive oil to combine these liquids and activate the vinegar for dough texture.
  4. Form the Dough: Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should come together but not be overly sticky.
  5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it 10-12 times to develop a soft, cohesive texture without stickiness.
  6. Rest the Dough: Shape the dough into a ball, place it back into the mixing bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten and make rolling easier.
  7. Shape the Crust: Flatten the rested dough onto a pizza pan, shaping the edges upward to create a raised crust rim.
  8. Dock the Dough: Using a fork, poke holes in the center area of the dough to prevent excessive bubbling during baking.
  9. Apply Optional Crust Topping: Mix olive oil, minced garlic, and dried basil, then brush this mixture over the crust edges to add flavor and color.
  10. Par-Bake the Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes until slightly firm but not fully cooked through to prepare for toppings.
  11. Add Pizza Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your preferred vegan toppings such as tomato sauce, vegetables, and vegan cheese alternatives.
  12. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and toppings are cooked.
  13. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after baking, cut into 8 slices, and enjoy your delicious vegan pizza!

Notes

  • This recipe does not require yeast, making it faster and easier than traditional pizza doughs.
  • Whole wheat flour adds fiber and a rustic flavor but can be substituted with all-purpose flour for a lighter crust.
  • The apple cider vinegar reacts with baking powder to help the dough rise slightly and improve texture.
  • Optional crust topping enhances flavor but can be omitted to keep the dough simple.
  • Use a fork to dock the dough to prevent bubbles and maintain an even crust surface.
  • For crispier crust, bake directly on a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet if available.
  • Store leftover dough wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
