How to Prepare Cornmeal Crusted Pizza With Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce [Vegan]

Begin by preparing the dough for the crust. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add yeast, warm water, and maple syrup to the bowl. Let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5-7 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix until a ball of dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let sit for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the roasted red pepper cream sauce. Fill a cup halfway with cashews, and then add 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds on top of that. Now fill the measuring cup all the way to the top with warm water. Set aside.
Sauté the red pepper in 2-3 tablespoons of water until soft. Add red pepper, the 1 cup sunflower seed/cashew/water mixture, and remaining ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Prepare two baking sheets by sprinkling with cornmeal. When the dough has risen, divide into 4 equal portions. Individually roll each ball of dough out to form a 1/4-inch thick flatbread. Lay on the prepared baking sheet. Top with red pepper cream sauce, sautéed onions, sliced sausages, corn, and spinach.
Bake pizzas for 25-30 minutes. Top with vegan Parmesan.
