Easy Vegan Personal Pizzas

Personal pizzas always taste so much better than regular ones in my opinion. Maybe it's just in my head or because they are more fun to eat :) I love choosing all my toppings and spices for each one differently so I have a variety of flavors. Making homemade pizza dough may sound a bit intimidating but it really isn't hard to do at all! This is a very simple recipe that everyone can make!

Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached or a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, & yeast, mix

  2. Incorporate the salt into the dry mixture

  3. Add the warm water & oil

  4. Mix until a dough ball forms. You are looking for a firm dough that isn't sticky when touched. You may need to add a few tablespoons of water or flour depending on your consitency

  5. If you are using a stand mixer, use a fairly high speed & mix for 2-3 minutes until the ball is stiff & bounces back when pressed

  6. If you are doing it by hand, turn the dough out onto a well floured surface & kneed for 5-10 minutes

  7. Place the dough back into the bowl & cover with a towel. Place in a warm place for about 1 hour & a half to rise, you can leave it for longer to develop more flavor too

  8. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 425 degrees

  9. Dump the dough out onto a floured surface & give it few kneeds

  10. Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces depending on how big or small you want your pizzas to be

  11. Flatten out the dough pieces with a rolling pin or use your hands to work the dough from the center out to create a nice round with thick crust

  12. Place on a greased or nonstick pan & bake for 10 minutes

  13. Take the crust out & load on your toppings of chioce

  14. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown & the toppings are hot

  15. Cut up and enjoy with extra nooch or Vegan Parmesan!

Vegan blogger with a message to share:

Veganism doesn't have to be hard, unappetizing, or unhealthy. I here to show people how to make delicious healthy recipes free of many allergens like gluten but with an extra healthy twist. Many of the recipes are completley grain-free, refined sugar-free, oil-free, and made with ingredients that are of course plant based and as close to the whole plant form as possible. There less processed it is, the better. I also write blog posts on living a vegan lifestyle. Veganism isn't just about not eat animals and their byproducts, but also not buying leather or buying cosmetic products from companies who test on animals. I am here to help people on their journey to a life free of cruelty but full of positivity and happiness. I share my vegan story, cruelty free skin care routine, makeup routines, eco-friendly household products, ethical fashion, yoga and meditation, zero waste essentials, how to throw a vegan party, pantry essentials, and so many more!
