Homemade vegan pizza recipe

I made a super yummy if I say so myself, vegan pizza using the NEW Basil & Chilli pesto from Pesto Princess, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, topped with fresh rocket and a balsamic dressing.

Vegan pizza from scratch

I love the NEW Basil & Chilli Pesto from Pesto Princess, so much so that I blogged about it here, and it inspired me to create this very pizza. I made the pizza dough from scratch, which was super easy, and let it rise for 2 hours, after which I stored it in the fridge overnight, to use the next day.

The next day I rolled the dough out and coated it with the Pesto Princess Basil & Chilli pesto. I added sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and mixed herbs before popping it in the oven. Once it was done, I added the fresh rocket and drizzled some balsamic dressing on top.
