How to Make dairy free pizza

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.
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.
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.
