Vegan Broccoli Pizza Recipe

Prepare the Dough:
- If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature. If making your own, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 packet of yeast, ¾ cup of warm water, and a pinch of salt. Knead until smooth and let rise for at least an hour.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Prepare the Toppings:
- In a bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Steam the broccoli lightly for about 3-4 minutes until bright green but still crisp.
Shape the Dough:
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper if you’re not using a pizza peel.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Distribute the steamed broccoli evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese over the broccoli.
- Add red pepper flakes and dried oregano.
Bake the Pizza:
- Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper, if used) directly onto the hot pizza stone or a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
Final Touches:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Optionally, sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top for an extra cheesy flavor.
Serve:
- Cut into slices and serve hot.

Crust Options: For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pizza base.
Cheese Alternatives: Experiment with different types of vegan cheese like cheddar or smoked gouda for varying flavors.
Additional Toppings: Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced bell peppers, onions, or olives to the pizza.

Enjoy your homemade Vegan Broccoli Pizza, a delightful treat that’s both nourishing and satisfying!
