I was always afraid to make my own pizza dough for fear that it would be difficult and time-consuming, but the reality is that it only takes a few minutes and the recipe is almost fool-proof. <\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ll need:<\/strong> 2 1\/2 teaspoons dry active yeast, 1 cup warm water, 3 cups flour (I mixed whole wheat and white), 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>Take the packet of yeast and combine with 1 cup of warm water, add a teaspoon of sugar and let this sit for 5 minutes. The water should become a light beige color and develop a thin foam at the top (this means the yeast has been activated).<\/p>\n<p>In a stand mixer or a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil, and water\/yeast mixture. Mix on low or gently fold together, then stir\/mix for an additional 3-5 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and holds together in a ball. <\/p>\n<p>Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours. That&#8217;s it! The dough is ready to be rolled into pizza crusts and baked.<\/p>\n<h3>The Pizza<\/h3>\n<p>Pre-heat the oven to 425\u00ba F and prepare the Alfredo sauce according to the instructions on <a href=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/cauliflower-alfredo-sauce\/\" title=\"Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce\">this page<\/a>. Once the dough has risen, form it into two very thin rectangular crusts on lightly-oiled baking trays or pizza stones. Bake this crust without any sauce or toppings for about 15 minutes. The reason for this is because our cauliflower sauce will have a tendency to burn if left in the oven for too long. By giving the crust a head-start, it reduces the time that the sauce is in the oven. <\/p>\n<p>While the crust is pre-cooking, gather the cauliflower sauce, corn, garlic, mushrooms, and artichokes. Remove the pizza from the oven, add generous amounts of sauce and toppings, then return to the oven until the edges of the crust become lightly browned and the center is thoroughly cooked. Let it cool, slice, and try not to eat it all too fast!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why is there a potato chip on this pizza?<\/strong> As a joke, I also made one slice with potato chips! At the <em>Buca di Beppo<\/em> restaurant chain, they have a similar pizza with Alfredo sauce and chickens, but they also add potato chips (?) and I though it would be funny to recreate that. I do not recommend this, however. The chips get soggy and gross, and they&#8217;re super unhealthy.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy (belated) National Vegan Pizza Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip.jpg\" alt=\"Alfredo Pizza Potato Chip\" width=\"700\" height=\"952\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-364x495.jpg 364w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-608x827.jpg 608w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-313x426.jpg 313w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-35x48.jpg 35w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaChip-71x96.jpg 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide.jpg\" alt=\"Alfredo Pizza\" width=\"700\" height=\"568\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-364x295.jpg 364w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-608x493.jpg 608w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-313x254.jpg 313w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-59x48.jpg 59w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/AlfredoPizzaWide-118x96.jpg 118w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, I posted a Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce and it was a major hit.
