How to Make dairy free pizza

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
    3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Sauce:
    1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
    2. Stir in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Assemble the Pizza:
    1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
    2. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two balls. Roll out each ball on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
    3. Place the rolled dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
    4. Spread a generous amount of sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with dairy-free cheese.
    5. Add your favorite toppings.
    6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

Variations and Tips

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend for the dough.
  • Different Sauces: Try a pesto or white garlic sauce for a change.
  • Protein Boost: Add chickpeas or black beans for extra protein.
  • Herbs and Spices: Sprinkle fresh basil or red pepper flakes on top before serving.

How to Store dairy free pizza

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • Freeze: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven.
