What is vegan pizza crust made of? ›

Often times, pizza dough is naturally vegan. The basic pizza dough formula is just water, flour, yeast, and salt. The only times that eggs or dairy are used for a bread recipe is typically just for enriched doughs (like brioche or cinnamon rolls– which we have the vegan options for on the blog!).

Is pizza dough vegan? Most pizza dough is vegan as basic dough usually requires only flour, salt, yeast and water. However, some doughs call for butter, milk and/or eggs so be sure to read the ingredients label or ask your server.

Yes, pizza dough is typically just water, flour, yeast (with a little sugar to proof it), salt and sometimes a vegetable oil—all ingredients allowed on a vegan diet.

Many people also use margarine, which is similar to butter in texture and color, but it's usually made with plant-based fat instead of animal fat.

In the strictest definition of the word, honey is not vegan. As the product of a living being –honeybees, though there are other some 20,000 bee species to be found around the world – honey falls into the same category of non-vegan food products as milk and eggs.
