Vegan Margherita Pizza:

Ingredients:

• Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
• 8 ounces (about 225g) vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
• Fresh basil leaves
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach (usually around 475-500°F or 245-260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

3. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire pizza.

8. Tear some fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the cheese.
