Last Friday we had happy hour an pizza and my house and enjoyed a nice inexpensive evening on our deck. I failed to take pictures so are oldies for blog asthetic sprinkled in. Pizza is such an easy dish to introduce your self to vegan food. Now I loe the ooey gooey cheese , but there are some pretty decent versions of vegan cheese now that give the feel. My daughter though tends to just load hers with a variety of vegetables and on Friday, she brought along her container of nutritional yeast to shake on top.
Tthis ups the flavor and I bleleive adds a bit of protein. She has had some good success with a homemade cashew sauce. I know I share pizza a lot, but it is what we cooked this week that was delcious and made at least for DD1, vegan.
Flat bread crust for four, oblong flatbreads. (Remember I am not a great measurer)
4 C flour
2 TBLS sugar
2 Tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2-3 TBLS olive oil
2-3 tsps eachof onion an dgarlic powder, and Italian seasoning
water littel by little to blend until a nice dough forms, nock this all together, coat with a touch more oil and let site for 20-30 minutes. I then par bake for 1-12 minutes on a 400 degree oven
Top with your favorites, and bake another 15-20 minutes depending on your degree of doneness. If you like your toppings more done, par bake less and vice versa.
Our toppings, along with heavy sprinkles of the herbs and speices above, inlcuded
sun dried tomato
spinach
red onions
fresh mushrooms
olives
My daughter has made a yeast crust pizza as well-so good and bready. This one has the cashew "cheese" sauce.

Yum. I want to make pizza with barely any pizza sauce due to my stomach, most of the other things on it are fine for me - and I do have some wilty spinach and older mushrooms in the fridge...supper is planned!
ReplyDeleteold vegetables work so good wihthomemade pizza. Thenice thing about homemade is you can avoid tradiitonal sauces to help wiht personal needs and palates. We often just use crushed tomatoe-though still acidic I guess.
DeleteOf the vegans I've spoken to the biggest thing they complain about is vegan cheese. Seems it's really difficult to find a good one!
ReplyDeleteI think there are good ones that are pricey, but the nutritional yeast helps it go farther for taste. My source is my daughter and a coworker.
DeletePeople are going to kill me with cashew cheese! They dump it on my food and tell me "it is delicious and made from cashews." When I cannot eat it, feelings are hurt. I am allergic to cashews! However, it all looks delicious. I am searching for the packets of pizza crust like Jiffy cornbread. Jiffy does make a pizza crust mix. No, not going to be making pizza crust. Both of those pizzas make me hungry for pizza! I just use spaghetti sauce for the top. Tommy would not go for veggies on top.
ReplyDeleteI would never not disclose what was in an alterntive ingredient. I have a sister with a huge tree nut alergy as well. I get that hurt feelign thing with shell fish-I'm not being rude I just don't want ob sick fomr your famous clam dip or shrimp pasta.
DeleteThose look so nummy.
ReplyDeleteYes-and pretty much always have ingredients of some sort on hand.
DeleteOhhhhh look delicious.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to eat Gluten Free and that makes it harder. -sigh-
There' cauliflower crust pizzas, but I have not tried. I really feel for those with gluten intolerances. I eat way to much bread-and probalby shoulnd't as I do get stomach irritain, but not what others face. Pizza hotdishes (wihtout starch) gets to the pizza flavors perhaps.
DeleteI tried to post this earlier but must not have succeeded. The pizza looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your daughter has ever watched this guy, but I use his recipes sometimes and they are delicious. (we are far from vegan but do it that way sometimes. Good food is good food! https://monsonmadethis.com
I'll have her take a look. Shehas a few Youtubers that she pops in on to see their latest vegan eating plans and recipes. We love wathcing Madeline Olvia's videos.
DeleteAbsolutely love homemade pizza!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a cheese fan so homemade is so much better for me, the chap used to love cheese but doesn't bother with vegan versions which really surprises me but he just doesn't miss it now.
Her no cheese version Friday,loaded with veg was pretty delicous looking.
