"This pizza dough needs to be proofed for a long time, at least 6 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge, so you have to plan ahead to have your pizzas on time... No cheese added here as I wanted a totally vegan pizza, and it seems that they don’t need any! If you really crave for something creamy or cheesy here, a layer of béchamel, grated Parmesan, and some Gorgonzola or blue cheese rhyme with both especially with the spinach-cauliflower topping..."
