For the Dough:
1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water (105°F)
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

To Assemble:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves minced garlic
1 pkg. shredded vegan cheese (try Follow Your Heart’s “mozzarella”)
1/4 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
1/4 cup quartered artichoke hearts
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Dough:
• Mix the yeast with the lukewarm water in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cold water, oil, salt, and 1/2 cup of the flour. Stir in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time.
• Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, then cover with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 2 portions. Knead briefly, then shape into 2 balls. Place each in a separate bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 hour.

To Assemble:
• While the dough is rising, combine the olive oil with the garlic and let sit.
• When the dough is ready, press each ball into a 10- to 12-inch pizza pan, shaping to your desired thickness. Top each with 1/2 the olive oil and garlic mixture.
• Sprinkle 1/2 the “cheese” onto each pizza, using less if you prefer. Top with the onions, olives, and artichokes.
• Bake at 500°F for 8 to 9 minutes. Place under the broiler for the last 30 seconds to melt the “cheese.”

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
