If you like your pizza with thick, fluffy dough, you’ll love these Sicilian Style Mini Pizzas.

To celebrate Pride Month, make these mini vegan pizzas with beautiful rainbow toppings. The key to a fluffy and airy dough packed with lots of bubbles is a long proofing time. Luckily, you can just let it rest in the corner to achieve this.

The dough texture and taste are best with white bread flour, but you can also use whole wheat or a gluten-free mix if you want it to be a bit healthier.

This recipe also works for larger pizzas, if you don’t want to make mini pies. You can make a large round pizza, or you can spread the dough on a baking tray to get a thick square pizza.

Top your pizza with your favorite store-bought or homemade pizza sauce, lots of vegan cheese, and rainbow veggies.
