  1. Full of veggies and totally customizable. If you’re up for making your own pizza from scratch (it’s easier than you think!),

    # Ingredients:

    # For the Pizza Dough:

    * 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
    * 1 teaspoon sugar
    * 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
    * 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
    * 1 teaspoon salt
    * 1 tablespoon olive oil

    # For the Pizza Toppings:

    * 1 cup vegan pizza sauce
    * 1 1/2 cups vegan cheese (shredded)
    * Your favorite vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, olives)
    * Fresh basil leaves for garnish

    # Instructions:

    # Prepare the Pizza Dough:

    1. **Activation**: Start by combining the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
    2. **The Foundation**: In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of flour with salt. Create a well in the center, pouring in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough starts to form.
    3. **Kneading to Perfection**: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
    4. **Rising to the Occasion**: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

    # Assemble and Bake the Pizza:

    1. **Preheat**: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C).
    2. **Rolling Out**: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
    3. **Saucy Base**: Spread the vegan pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
    4. **Cheese and Toppings**: Sprinkle the vegan cheese over the sauce and decorate with your selected vegetable toppings.
    5. **Baking Time**: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese looks melted and bubbly.
    6. **Garnish and Serve**: Finally, remove your masterpiece from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.

    May I ask what the difference between vegan pizza sauce and regular tomato pizza sauce is?
