Vegan Pizza

So I can promise you the best pizza crust ever. Really! 

Pizza Crust

• 5 cups Bread flour
• 2 Tablespoons instant yeast
• 1 Tablespoon sugar (or agave)
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 2 Cups warm water
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 5 tablespoons Vital Wheat Gluten

This makes TWO 16 inch pans- or smaller if you want. 

Pizza Sauce

• Hm Tomato sauce

Cheese

Hm Vegan cheese..... this is a work in progress but so far to date its the closest thing I have had to real cheese ... ever! Rough recipe as follows:

• 1 cup almonds
• 2 cups hot water 
• 1 1/2 cup oil 
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 3 tablespoons agar
• Dried Onions
• Salt
• Few pinches of Nutritional yeast 

Add all ingredients to your blender and process till smooth. Add to a pot and turn to medium and stir until it thickens. I used it right when it came off the stove. It worked perfect. Will see what happens tomorrow after it fully sets. Like I said a work in progress but it definitely has merit.    

Pizza Crust

Combine flour and VWG and sift. Add other dry ingredients and mix. Add oil and the warm water and mix the dough until when you lightly poke it it springs back. (about 10 mins). Lightly oil the dough and cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel. Let sit for two hours. Dump out onto a rolling surface and split the dough into two pieces. Roll out. 

Before cheese and with vegan pepperoni 

Take your pizza pan and lightly oil it. Gently fold the dough in half to pick it up and then stretch out onto the pan. Add your sauce, your toppings, and then the cheese. bake it at 500 degrees until it's bubbling and brown. (my oven about 20 min's or so) The cheese was actually bubbling. Crazy I know.










Now it's time for beer (or wine) and pizza!
