Here’s how to make this ready-to-bake thin crush vegan pizza dough:

INGREDIENTS:-

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
• 2 tbsp fresh herbs, chopped (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:-

1. Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl and mix well. Cover with a lid and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, sweetener, herbs and the yeast-water mixture.
3. Knead into a soft dough. If the dough remains sticky, add flour and continue to knead until smooth.
4. Rub the ball of dough with oil and cover the bowl with a wet muslin cloth and set aside for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Press the dough lightly to remove the air and divide into 2 equal portions.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into 12-inch discs. Prick each circle evenly using a fork.
7. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for about 5 minutes or until firm and lightly crisp. (Note – The pizza base is not completely cooked. It will be thoroughly baked when the pizza topping is added and baked again.)
