- Mix the yeast and water and let sit for about five minutes. Then add flour and salt. Mix until dough comes together with hands or use a mixer. If its too sticky, add more flour. When it comes together set it in a bowl cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for one hour so it can rise and double in volume.
- While your dough is rising, combine soaked raw cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, salt, garlic and basil in a food processor or blender. Blend until a creamy and set aside.
- Once your dough has sat for an hour create a clean surface area, dust flour on your working area and begin to flatten out your dough or you can roll it out with a pizza roller. Add as much of extra flour to your dough as you need as it can be sticky. carefully cary the pizza over to your dish and pinch the outside to create a crust. Spread your sauce on your pizza and top with vegetables.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until crust is slightly golden at 400 degrees. Once pizza is done baking drizzle your basil cheese sauce over your pizza, top with fresh basil or cilantro.
