Vegan Pizza

August 1, 2014 by admin

Occasionally we want to cut down on the amount of dairy products we consume.  Or we just crave a dinner that’s a little bit lighter than a full-on traditional pizza.  And we’re considering what it might mean for our family to go fully vegan- could we still have versions of our favorite foods?IMG_6955

Well, pizza is one of our family’s faves.  This recipe proves that we can still have delicious, filling pizza prepared vegan.

It’s simple and pretty quick to put together.

First, you’ll need some dough.  Start this step a few hours before you plan to eat, so the dough has time to rise.  We recommend two hours.  But you can cut that by a lot (even less than an hour!) and it will still work out OK.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Flour

1 T Sugar

1 T Dry Yeast

1 t Salt

2/3 Cup Water

6 t Olive Oil

Process:

Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl, cover and set aside for about 2 hours.

Now, for the pizza toppings:

Ingredients:

1 Red Pepper

1 Red Onion

8 oz. Sliced Mushrooms (we used button)

Small bunch of fresh Basil, chopped

Salt & Pepper to Taste

1 t Oregano

1/4 to 1/2 Cup Your Favorite Marinara: homemade or a favorite store brand- you decide!

Vegan Parmesan Cheese (we used Go Veggie!)

 

Process:

Saute veggies to help bring out flavors, about 5 minutes.  Use veggies from your garden if you can!

IMG_6946Roll out/ toss dough into a round, about 14 inches across. Place on a pizza/cookie pan dusted with cornmeal.

(Optional) Precook dough 5 minutes or so, at 350 degrees.  This can help keep the pizza from being too soggy in the middle once you add your toppings.  But it’s ok to skip this step.

Spread marinara on pie, and finish off with sauteed veggies.  Sprinkle with a light topping of vegan parmesan.IMG_6945

Bake 15 minutes at 350.

Eat and enjoy!  There may just be something to this vegan thing.
