Dairy Free Whole Wheat Pizza (Vegan)

One of the foods I missed the most after being told I couldn't have dairy was cheese, which of course means pizza.  For years I ate pizza without cheese, it leaves a lot to be desired, but was far better than the alternative.  This recipe will make enough dough for one pizza, when making this last night I doubled the recipe which made 2 pizza's, depending on the size of the pizza's you are making you may have enough for 3.

Double recipe of dough

Pizza Dough
I found this recipe in the recipe booklet from my Cuisinart mixer but prefer to use whole wheat flour.

2 1/4 tsp of dry yeast or 1 packet of active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
2/3 cup warm water
1 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tbsp cornmeal (for the pan - optional)

Directions
1. Stir yeast and sugar into warm water and let stand until it foams, about 10 minutes.
2. In a food processor add flour and salt and turn on the machine.
3. Add the yeast mixture through the feeding tube and process for about 45 seconds, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.  Add oil through the feed tube and process another 60 seconds.
4. Roll dough on floured surface into a circle, make sure to use enough flour so it does not stick.
5. Oil pan or pans lightly and sprinkle with cornmeal if using.  Place dough on pan.  If you wish you may fold your rolled dough in half loosely, then in half again, place on centre of pan and gently unfold.  If you wish to have a rim on your crust fold 1 inch under the crust on the edges.

Pizza

1 pizza crust
pizza sauce
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp basil
2 cups of vegetables (I used spinach, mixed bell peppers and olives)
Turkey Pepperoni (optional - not used in picture)

Preheat oven to 350°F
Spread sauce on crust and add spices.
I like to put spinach on my pizza before adding the cheese, but of course this is optional.  There is no need to chop baby spinach as it will wilt during cooking.
Add dairy free cheese, I use daiya mozarella
Add chopped vegetables
Bake pizza in over for 10-12 minutes

Daiya is the only dairy free cheese I have ever enjoyed eating.  The cheese is soy and dairy free.
