Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent.
2. Add the red bell pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the spinach, basil, thyme, salt, red pepper flakes and the second salt portion, and mix. Cook until the spinach wilts.
4. In a bowl, mix the warm water, yeast and sugar, and leave for a few minutes.
5. Add 1.5 cups of flour, the salt, semolina and oil, and mix well with a spoon. Add a tablespoon or so more flour if needed, then gather the dough and knead for a few seconds until soft.
6. Leave the dough in a warm place for 15 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 225°C / 435°F.
8. Oil the dough, then shape it into a rough smooth ball. Dust with flour and press it into an 8 to 9 inch pan with tall sides, letting some dough rise above the edge. Keep the base thick enough to hold the toppings.
9. Layer vegan mozzarella, pizza sauce, the pepper and spinach mixture, and any other vegetables, then olives, more sauce, vegan mozzarella, fresh basil and red pepper flakes.
10. Bake at 225°C / 435°F for 25 to 30 minutes. Scatter more fresh basil on top, rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice.
