Vegan Pizza Dough Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are simple and wholesome! Here’s what you’ll need:
Flour – A mix of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour! However, feel free to use all-purpose only or sub a 1-to-1 gluten free flour (opens in a new tab) instead.
Olive Oil – Olive oil works best for this recipe since it adds so much flavor. However, avocado oil is a great option, too!
Apple Cider Vinegar – Adds acidity and flavor to this pizza dough recipe.
Unsweetened Almond Milk or Water – After many tests, both almond milk and water work great. If using almond milk, be sure that it’s unsweetened and unflavored!
Baking Powder – This helps thicken the dough when yeast isn’t an option.
Garlic/Oregano/Salt – All the flavor! A combination or garlic powder, (opens in a new tab) dried oregano, and salt make this pizza crust so delicious.

Hello, I just wanted to ask if I make the pizza dough in the morning, can I put it in the frig until evening?
Absolutely! Just be sure to cover the dough or place in an airtight container to keep it from drying out.
Can I use all whole wheat flour?
You can, but the texture may be a little dense. I would mix half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose!
