Back in the day we would order pizza from our local purveyor of pies on a weekly basis. When we went vegan that quickly ended. Now days the vegan “cheese” is good enough that we enjoy a good pizza again. The key I find is to not use too much “cheese”. This classic pizza uses a homemade dough and sauce, but if you want you can buy both. It’s kind of fun though if you have the time to make it all yourself. So buon appetito!

  • In a large bowl stir together the flour and salt.

  • Preheat the over to 425° F.
  • Fry the onion and peppers until the onions are soft and translucent.

  • Add the onion and peppers to the dough in an even layer.
  • Spread a thin layer of vegan cheese over the pizza. Remember don’t over do it with the cheese.
  • Top with fresh basil leaves.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is done and brown around the edges.
