Vegan Deep Dish Pizza

I love pizza. I could eat it everyday, and you could too because there are so many ways to make it. There's deep dish, thin crust, calzones (that's pizza to me, just not round), pizza bread, breakfast pizzas, even dessert pizzas!  See? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!

Everybody loves pizza. Pizza is fun to make and fun to eat. It's a party food - when you have friends over, you have pizza. Having a sleepover? Pizza! Birthday party? Pizza!

Now let's make some pizza!

Ingredients for the dough:

5 cups organic unbleached flour
2 cups warm water
4 1/2 teaspoons of yeast
2 teaspoons organic garlic power (optional)
2 teaspoons organic onion powder (optional)
1 teaspoon salt

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the water and yeast, let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.  Attatch dough hook and add 2 1/2 cups of flour, salt, and spices (if using).  Mix on medium speed until dough starts to firm, add remaining flour, mix until the dough comes clean from the sides if the bowl.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean dish towel, let rise for 1 hour.

While the pizza dough is rising you can start prepping your toppings.

Per-heat oven to 425 degrees

Grease a cast iron skillet with non-dairy butter.  Remove the dough from the bowl and place in skillet. Using both hands spread the dough to fill the entire bottom of the skillet, while also pressing the dough up the sides of the skillet.

Now add your sauce, cheese, and toppings, and any additional seasonings you like.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Pizza party!!
