Instructions:
**1. Preheat the oven:**
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), or follow your pizza dough’s package instructions. Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven while it heats.
**2. Prepare the broccoli:**
Toss the broccoli florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them on a separate tray for 10 minutes until lightly charred and crispy. This helps avoid soggy toppings.
**3. Shape the dough:**
Roll or stretch out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
**4. Add the toppings:**
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle on minced garlic. Spread the tomato sauce evenly, then layer with vegan cheese, roasted broccoli, and red onions. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes.
**5. Bake the pizza:**
Carefully transfer the pizza (on parchment) to the preheated baking tray or stone. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
**6. Slice and serve:**
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice and enjoy while warm!
