Instructions

  1. 1

    First, prepare the vegan mozzarella (1) and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the pizza dough (1) and set it in a warm, draft-free spot for 60 minutes until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Place your pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F.

  4. 4

    Simmer the yukon gold potato (2) in a pot of water for 15 minutes until just fork-tender, then cool and cut into thin slices.

  5. 5

    Prepare the basil pesto (1) if not already made.

  6. 6

    On a floured surface, stretch the dough to 16 inches. Reserve 0.33 of the vegan mozzarella (1) for the top.

  7. 7

    Arrange the remaining vegan mozzarella (1) and a small amount of basil pesto (1) around the dough perimeter. Fold edges over and seal the inner edge tightly.

  8. 8

    Carefully transfer dough to the hot stone and spread with marinara sauce (1 cup). Layer on sliced yukon gold potato (2) and the reserved mozzarella.

  9. 9

    Bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

  10. 10

    Top with the remaining basil pesto (1) and a red pepper flakes (1 pinch) before slicing.
