1

In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour (3.5 cups), vegan cane sugar (0.25 cup), instant yeast (1 package), and salt (1 tsp).
2

Then, add in the dairy free milk (1.5 cups).
3

Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.
4

Once a ball is formed, grease the same bowl and place the dough ball back into the bowl.
5

Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes (use the timer for minutes (60)) in a warm, draft-free place until doubled.
6

When ready, on a pizza stone, lay down parchment paper and lightly flour. Stretch the dough out into a circle.
7

Cover it and let it sit until doubled in size, approximately minutes (20).
8

Once doubled, add olive oil (2 tbsp) over the top.
9

Using your fingertips, press down into the dough to make dimples all over (push down to make dents that touch the bottom of the stone).
10

Add a thin layer of marinara sauce (0.375 cup) to cover the dough.
11

Add any of your [pizza toppings] (e.g., vegan cheese, sliced bell peppers, vegan walnut crumbles, and red pepper flakes).
12

Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes (use the timer for minutes (20)) or until the bread is golden brown on top.
