Whats your favorite Vegan or VEGETARIAN Pizza Recipe?
or any Vegetarian recipe for that matter?
Answers:
Take one vegetarian (a vegan can be subsitituted, but adjust the salt), thinly slice and ....
wait, you want a meatless pizza recipe, right?
Don't you just hate those restaurants where the one vegetarian sandwich is called "Vegetarian Sandwich" and the vegetarian pizza is called "Veggy Delight"?
I've got a few favorites, but the dough and the process are also key.
For the dough, two cups hot water, two packets of yeast; dissolve the yeast, add a little bit of flour, 1-2 tsp of salt, and about 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil; let stand for about 10 minutes. Add enough flour and knead until it pushes back; knead for about 20 minutes or use a bread machine. Throw into a garbage bag, place somewhere warm and let it rise for an hour. Punch it down and let rise for a few more hours or even a day.
Okay, pizza making time. You'll need a pizza stone in an oven turned up to 500 degrees. You'll also need a pizza peel (big wooden spatula).
Your dough should make about 3 pizzas. Roll out the dough for a pizza using either your hands or a rolling pin. Spread some corn meal on the peel then place the dough on the peel. Spread on olive oil, followed by some mozzarella cheese. Now add some sliced roma tomatoes, followed by some more cheese. Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for about 6-8 minutes. You'll need to check after a minute to make sure there aren't any bubbles forming. Remove from oven and add some fresh basil. This is a Pizza Margherita. Very simple, but tasty.
Garlic mashed potato pizza
baby red potatos mashed with garlic butter topped with extra tomatoes, fresh green onions and feta cheese on a soft pizza crust
I don't know what the exact recipe is, but this is the description from a menu (from pizza luce). It's so yummy!
Onion, Mushrooms, Green & Red Peppers, and lots of cheese (that wouldn't be vegan though)
Caesar salad pizza! Its just the pizza bread with the salad on top, no pizza sauce.
I roast bite-sized pieces of red peppers and zucchini along with whole garlic cloves, and when they're almost soft I add some cherry or grape tomatoes as well. When the veggies are soft I add them to a pizza crust and top with fresh mozzarella, fresh grated parmesan and whole basil leaves. Then I bake it.
Amy's makes better pizza than I do.
I love the Italian kind. The American pizzas are all trashy and just very slipshod inferior pieces of work. The American pizza is just a desperate attempt of piled in fatty junky stuff with loads of cheese.
I prefer a flat hard crust like the Italian kind, with lots of spicy tomato sauce, loads of pineapples and green and red peppers and some onions. That's a real pizza.
