Ingredients:

Pizza Dough:

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Pizza Sauce:

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

2 cups shredded Jain-friendly cheese (without onion or garlic)
1 cup sliced bell peppers (assorted colors)
1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Fresh basil leaves for garnish


Instructions:

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.


Make the Jain Pizza Sauce:

In a saucepan, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste.


Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.


Roll out the Dough:

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.


Assemble the Pizza:

Spread the Jain pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Jain-friendly cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the sliced bell peppers, black olives, and mushrooms across the pizza.


Bake the Jain Pizza:

If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone in the oven. Otherwise, place the baking sheet directly in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.


Garnish and Serve:

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and relish the Jain-friendly goodness of your Cheese Jain Pizza.


Conclusion: 

The Cheese Jain Pizza is a testament to the versatility of Jain cuisine. Enjoy the richness of melted cheese and a colorful array of vegetables without compromising on your dietary preferences. This recipe promises a delicious experience for pizza lovers following Jain principles or anyone seeking a delightful vegetarian option.
