• 2 teaspoon active dry yeast

• 1 teaspoon organic sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoon vegan butter - to brush on the crust after pre-bake

• Your favorite pizza toppings

instructions

• Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and stir together for 10 minutes, it should become foamy. If it’s not foamy, then the yeast might not be fresh or the water is not warm enough

• Combine salt and oil and stir together.

• Add in flour ½ cup at a time.

• Knead until it forms into a ball. If it's far too sticky, add more flour at a time until it comes together.

• Continue to knead for 5 minutes.

• Place the dough into a large bowl with a bit of grease. Cover with a towel and put it in a warm location for 1 hour to let it rise until it doubled in size.

• Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celcius (450 degrees Fahrenheit)

• Make the dough smooth and firm by kneading it again.
