Makes: 2 pizzas (4 servings) I     Prep Time: 100 min     I     Cook Time: 20 min

INGREDIENTS

Dough:

3/4 cup water, heated to 110 to 115 degrees

2 1/4 tsps active dry yeast

1 tsp pure cane sugar

2 cups whole grain flour

1 cup Shelled Hemp Seeds

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Toppings:

1/3 cup tomato paste

3 tbsp water

2 tsp pizza seasoning

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1/2 red onion, sliced

1 1/3 cup soy cheese

1 medium tomato, sliced

40 pieces of vegan pepperoni

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat water to between 110 and 115 degrees. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the water. Then sprinkle the sugar over the yeast. Let it sit until the water becomes frothy.

2. In a food processor add the flour, hemp seeds, and salt. Pulse until the hemp seeds are broken down into a grain and combine with the flour.

3. Add the oil and the yeast water combination to the food processor and run until a dough ball forms.

4. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Put the dough ball in and cover with a damp towel. Allow it sit at room temperature until it doubles in size, about an hour and a half.

5. Preheat the oven to 420. Separate the dough in half to create two dough balls. Flatten out the balls on pizza screens to make two pizza crusts. If you do not have a pizza screen you can place parchment paper on a baking sheet.

6. Mix the tomato paste, water, and pizza seasoning until smooth and spreadable. Top pizza with the sause, cheese, and all other toppings. Feel free to add anything you like: mushrooms, pineapple, olives, the possiblities are endless.

7. Place the pizzas in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Let cool and enjoy!
