Pizza aux Olives is a delightful vegan French pizza, featuring a crisp crust topped with a medley of olives and aromatic herbs. This savory dish combines the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, making it a perfect meal for pizza lovers seeking a plant-based option.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black olives, pitted and sliced - 100 grams
• Green olives, pitted and sliced - 50 grams
• Cherry tomatoes, halved - 100 grams
• Fresh basil leaves - 10 grams
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (optional for cheesy flavor)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Combine the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
6. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the dough. Arrange the sliced black and green olives, halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle the dried oregano on top.
7. If using, sprinkle nutritional yeast over the toppings for added flavor.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
