Enhancing with Gourmet Touches: To further tantalize the taste buds, we adorn our pizza with an array of gourmet toppings. Plump black olives, briny and bold, intermingle with delicate slices of red onions, imparting a harmonious blend of savory and sweet notes.

Vegan Broccoli Pizza
Ingredients:
For the pizza dough:
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
For the toppings:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed or roasted
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup sliced red onions
- 1 cup vegan cheese (such as vegan mozzarella or a blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, salt, and the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into your desired pizza shape on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter the steamed or roasted broccoli florets, sliced black olives, and red onions over the sauce.
- Sprinkle the vegan cheese over the top of the pizza.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
