If you're on a plant-based diet but absolutely love pizza, then this recipe is for you! The taste and textures are so close to the original that if they didn't tell you it was vegan, you'd hardly notice! In fact, why not see for yourself by trying to make it for someone who also eats regular pizza? Have fun and see their reaction after you break the news!

This pizza has a crispy crust around the edges and is soft and tender in the center. You can use this recipe as a base and experiment by adding your favorite toppings to create different types of pizza! The secret ingredient here is the melting VioLife mozzarella. In fact, you can try it with both the mozzarella and the vegan pizza cheese the brand offers! You won't go wrong with either! It's time for the recipe:

INGREDIENTS for 4 pizzas:

*for the crust:
 

• 350 g "00" type flour⁣
• 1 packet of dry yeast⁣
• 1 tsp brown sugar⁣
• 1 tsp salt⁣
• 1 tbsp "Extra Virgin" olive oil⁣
• 250 ml water⁣
• additional "00" type flour for kneading and dusting
• semolina for dusting⁣
  
  * for topping:
   
• tomato puree
• red pepper
• onion
• corn
• mushrooms
• vegan mozzarella VioLife
• vegan pizza cheese VioLife

 
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 of the warmed water, which should be slightly above body temperature (check by dipping a finger). Once it foams, pour it into the mixed flour and salt, then add the remaining water and olive oil.
2. Knead a soft dough that should not stick to your fingers. Transfer it to a floured bowl, sprinkle flour on top, cover with foil, and let it rise for 1 hour.⁣
3. Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll them into circles on a surface dusted with flour and semolina. Place a baking tray in the oven, preheated to 250 degrees Celsius, with a fan.
4. Once hot, place one dough circle on it. Spread tomato puree on top, leaving the edges plain, add the pre-chopped vegetables, cover generously with your choice of mozzarella or cheese, and drizzle with a little olive oil.
5. Bake the pizza for about 10 minutes. Prepare the rest in the same way, rolling out the next crust while the previous one bakes. You can combine different flavors and vegetables of your choice.
