Vegan Pizza Parmigiana
with Olives and Fresh Basil
Instructions
1 Make dough
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan. In a bowl, mix the all purpose flour (save a pinch for step 4!) and yeast with the brown sugar. Warm the water (to about the temperature of a warm bath, not too hot!). Add the water and the salt to the flour and mix.
2 Knead dough
Once the dough starts to come together, place it on the work bench and knead for 5 min (until less sticky). Shape into a neat ball. Grease a bowl with olive oil and transfer the dough to the greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside for 30 min or until doubled in size (see pro tip).
3 Roast eggplants
Meanwhile, slice the eggplants in half lengthways, then finely slice them. Place the eggplants on a baking tray, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 15 min until softened.
4 Make sauce
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the tomato passata, olive oil, garlic paste, oregano, agave and salt. Set aside.
5 Roll-out pizza
Once doubled in size, dust a baking tray and rolling pin with the reserved flour. Roll the dough out into an even layer on the baking tray (place a wet tea towel under the tray to stop it from moving). Use multiple trays depending on how many you're cooking for. Let the rolled-out dough rest in a warm place for 10 min.
6 Bake
Spoon the tomato sauce over the rested pizza base. Leave a crust. Sprinkle with the mozzarella. Top with the roasted eggplants and olives. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 20 min until the cheese is golden. Garnish the pizza with the fresh basil leaves.
Tips for fussy eaters
Another Pro Tip! Use water which is a similar temperature to the human body - too hot and it will kill the yeast, too cold and it won't activate it.
Pro tip
Let the dough prove outside - Dubai heat is the perfect environment for pizza dough to grow in.
