How to Prepare Buffalo Seitan Deep Dish Pizza [Vegan]

Mix the first four ingredients together, then slowly add flour until you get a soft, pliable dough.
Cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temp for as long as it needs to nearly double. This may be upwards of a whole day depending on your environment. Flavor and texture build with time. If you don't have the time for the cold proofing, just bake it then and there--no worries. But try the extending the time sometime; it's amazing.
Once you've got a dough ready, then it's time to evolve your pizza game.
Bread your seitan, pan-fry to crispy perfection and smother with a heaping helping of buffalo sauce, vegan mayo, garlic powder, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Chill.
Into a pre-greased 10-inch cast iron skillet, do the following. Lay out one of your crusts, rolled thin and lightly floured.
Then top it with this stuff, in the order of the toppings listed.
Bake at 425°F. for 23-27 minutes until the bottom's just getting dark. Serve immediately.
