Vegan Deep Dish Pizza Recipe - 20 min Crust! - Vegan Richa (1)

Most recipes that end up on the blog usually start as simple meals and then evolve into the fusion or creative versions of themselves. There are various easy vegan pizzas or deep dish pizza recipes on the web, so sometimes the recipe in its simplest form is overlooked. But those simple recipes are the ones that we all turn back to often.

I postedthis Black Eyed Pea Lasagna Deep dish pizza, and this Jalapeno Popper Mushroom White Sauce Deep dish long back. Since then I have been making a simpledeep dish with pizza sauce, vegan mozzarella(make it at home with cashews or coconut milk, or use vegan brands), red pepper, greens, garlic, loads of herbs, a few ingredients and variations here and there. I made one again the other day and remembered to photograph and note it.

This super easy Deep dish Pizza is saucy, filled with simple ingredients. It comes together quickly and makes for a filling meal. You can fill the pizza with any veggies you like, sauteed mushrooms, sliced veggies, some spiced tempeh crumbles etc. Make a tallVegan Deep Dish Pizza!

Shape the dough in a tall cake pan. I usually use a bit of parchment on the bottom to make it easy to lift the pizza out. Leave the edges without parchment, so the dough can stick and stay upright on the edges.

  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced or use roasted bell pepper
  • 4 to 5 oz (113.4 g) Spinach baby spinach or chopped
  • a handful of chopped basil
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
  • red pepper flakes to taste

Deep Dish Crust:

  • 3/4 cup (187.5 ml) warm water
  • 1.5 tsp active yeast
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) sugar
  • 1.5 to 2 cups (187.5 g) flour I use unbleached white
  • 1/4 cup (42 g) semolina flour or use fine cornmeal
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) salt

Other toppings:

  • Vegan Mozzarella shreds homemade or vegan brands
  • or use Vegan Mozzarella Slices from my Book
  • about 14 oz Pizza sauce (store bought or homemade, see recipe in Everyday Kitchen book)
  • olives
  • pepper flakes
  • chopped basil

Instructions

Make the red bell pepper spinach mixture:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add red bell pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add in spinach, basil, thyme, salt, red pepper flakes and salt and mix in. Cook until spinach is wilted

Make the Pizza Dough:

  • Mix warm water, yeast and sugar and let sit for a few minutes. Add 1.5 cups flour, salt, semolina flour and oil and mix well with a spoon. You can also add some garlic powder or dried herbs at this point. Add a tbsp or so more flour if needed and mix in. Gather the dough and knead for a few seconds to make a soft dough. Let the dough sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. See <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZl0SESiIIk" target="_blank">this video</a> for mixing and shaping the dough.

  • Preheat the oven to 435 degrees F(225 deg C).

  • Spray oil on he dough, then take it out and make a somewhat smooth ball. Using some flour spread the dough on 8 or 9 inch pan with tall sides making sure to spread some of the dough above the edge. Keep the bottom thick enough else it might not support the heavy toppings. *

Assemble:

  • Layer with vegan mozzarella, pizza sauce, red bell pepper and spinach mixture, other veggies if using. olives, pizza sauce, vegan mozzarella, some fresh basil and red pepper flakes.

  • Bake at 435 degrees F / 225ºc for 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle some more fresh basil on the pizza. Let the pizza rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

* At Step 3 of making the crust, you can bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes before layering the filling. This will help strengthen the bottom if using heavy filling or moisture leaking veggies/filling. .

Quick Pizza Sauce: Mix tomato puree, salt, pepper, olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder and onion powder. Thin with water if needed, mix and use.
