VEGAN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar, mixing gently until combined. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes, or until bubbly.
• Add the olive oil, flour, and salt, adding more flour as necessary until it forms a soft dough. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl and feel just a little sticky.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes, or until elastic.
• Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, cover, and let sit in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until​ the dough has doubled in bulk.
• Once the dough has doubled in bulk, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for several minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Use the dough immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
• Enjoy.
