Basic Vegan Pizza Dough

A very basic crispy Vegan Pizza Dough.

Ingredients
  

  • cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • ½ cup lukewarm water (may require more if dry)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water and oil. Mix to a soft dough.
  • Knead the dough for ten minutes on a lightly floured surface, until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 1 hour or until double in bulk.
  • Knock back the dough. Knead again for 2-3 minutes and roll out into the desired shape, and placed on a greased baking sheet. Push up the edges to make a rim. The dough is now ready for toppings. Bake according to your recipe, or bake at 425F for 20 minutes to 30 minutes.

Notes

Tips
It is important to keep your hands dry while kneading the dough to prevent sticking. I will dust my hands with flour before kneading.
A dusting of cornmeal can help keep the pizza dough from sticking to the pan while baking.
Taking a fork and poking the rolled out crust about every inch will prevent any air bubbles while cooking
