Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pico de gallo - 1 cup (made with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt)
• Vegan mozzarella cheese - 100 grams
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a 10-inch (25 cm) circle on a floured surface.
7. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Spread the pico de gallo evenly over the dough and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
10. Remove from the oven, top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
