Ingredients

4 servings

For the dough

1 cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
1 tsp granulated sugar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the bowl

For the beef topping

¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp granulated sugar

For the pizza

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 tsp kosher salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil, then stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springs back when poked.
