Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 (20 ounce) package pizza dough
  • ¾ cup pizza or marinara sauce
  • ½ cup vegan mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (232°C).
  • Divide the dough into 3 even balls.
  • Roll one of the dough balls out in into a long rectangle. At least 12 to 16 inches long.
  • Down the middle of the dough place about 1 ¼ tablespoons (18g) of vegan mozzarella.
  • Cover with about ¼ cup (60ml) of marinara or pizza sauce.
  • Roll the dough up into a long log shape. Repeat with the other 2 pieces of dough.
  • Transfer the 3 strands to a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Attach the 3 strands at the top. Push them together with your hands to connect them. And use a sharp serrated knife to cut down the center of each of the strands. This will make for a beautiful pizza braid as it opens up all the layers inside.
  • Then braid the strands. Start by keeping them distant from one another. Take one of the outside strands and cross it over to the middle. Then take the the other outside strand and move it over top to the middle. Rearrange the strands so you have a left, middle, and right again. Repeat the process until you have made the braid. Pushing the ends together to finished the braid.
  • Then, take the ends of the pizza braid and turn them in to make an S shape.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes on a lower rack in your oven, the outside and bottom should be golden brown.
  • Allow the braid to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into it.
