Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces pre-made pizza dough

- 4 tablespoons vegan pesto
- 4 ounces vegan mozzarella I used Trader Joe's
- 1 roasted red pepper sliced, see notes
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- Calabrian chili paste optional, to taste
- fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and place the dough on a clean, lightly oiled surface to come to room temperature - at least 30 minutes.
- Grease a baking sheet. Stretch the dough to your desired shape and lay it on the greased baking sheet.
- Spread out the pesto on the dough and top with the vegan mozzarella, roasted red peppers, shallots and dollops of Calabrian chili paste. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the crust is browned.
- Remove from the oven, slice and top with fresh basil.

Notes
- I used a roasted red pepper from a jar - the jars I buy usually come with 2 peppers, so just save the other one for a different recipe.
- You can make the pesto from scratch, or buy it pre-made. I got mine at Trader Joe's.
- For a crispier topping, turn the oven to broil for the last couple minutes of baking.
