SIMPLE VEGAN PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Combine the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato puree, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, a handful of fresh basil, oregano, and thyme in a blender; season with salt and pepper to taste. Puree until smooth.
• Place the pitas on a baking sheet and spread tomato sauce on top. Scatter the olives, tofu, peperoncini, and shaved zucchini over the sauce.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle Vegan Parmesan and fresh basil over pizzas and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500° F (if you have a pizza stone then get it in the oven now). If you're using an inverted cookie sheet, place that on your stovetop burner and crank it up to high for a few minutes while you prepare your dough.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil and use a fork to stir it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in 1 cup of very warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic (add more flour if it's too sticky).
• If using a pizza stone, shape the dough into a round and transfer it to a lightly floured pizza peel, then proceed with your toppings and baking (see below). If you're using a cookie sheet, lightly oil it and shape the dough into a 14-inch-round directly on top of it; brush the surface generously with olive oil and proceed with your toppings and baking.
• Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy your vegan pizza!
