A delicious vegan pizza recipe that you can cook at home without any special equipment. No need to order out, this recipe will satisfy any of your pizza cravings.
Ingredients
- 200 g Chestnut Mushrooms sliced into 1/2cm pieces
- 100 g Kale stems removed and roughly sliced
- 200 g Vegan Pizza Cheese
- 300 ml Marinara Sauce
- 2 Large Pizza Dough Balls
Instructions
- Prep your pizza dough at least 4 hours before you need to prepare your pizza. You can follow the instructions outlined here.
- Be sure to prepare your marinara sauce and vegan pizza cheese as per the outlined steps in their respective recipes. You can prep both of these well in advance if you wish. They can just keep on the side or in the fridge until you need them when topping the pizza.
- Turn your oven to the highest temperature setting it will go. Select the baking tray you wish to use to cook your pizza on. I recommend using a tray with shallow edges. These are the best for making your crust and topping super crispy. Cut out a sheet of baking parchment to match your baking tray, then place the tray into the oven to heat up.
- Lightly flour the surface of the baking parchment and place one of your dough balls into the center of the paper. Gently and gradually stretch dough until it reaches edges and all 4 corners of baking paper. If you don't want to use your hands you can use a floured rolling pin to achieve the same process. This is quicker and easier, however you won't get as good a finished pizza edge crust as with the stretching technique.
- Now ladle about a good helping of marinara sauce onto the dough, being sure to leave an inch border around the outside of the dough. I generally put about 3 large ladle's worth (around 130-150ml) of marinara sauce on my pizzas. However, it's best just to eye ball it, if in doubt less is more, you don't want too much tomato sauce making your pizza crust super wet and stogy.
- Next spoon large servings of vegan pizza cheese all about the pizza. Don't worry too much about the presentation, the cheese will naturally ooze with the heat from the oven and create a good coverage. Just aim to splatter cheese evenly about the dough, avoiding the crust.
- Finally, top your pizza with the chopped mushrooms and kale and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Remove your hot baking tray from the oven and slide the baking sheet with the pizza onto it. Then place into the oven an bake for about 8 - 10 minutes or until the crust is nicely golden brown and the pizza cheese is taking a little colour.
- Whilst your first pizza is cooking in the oven, prepare the second. Repeat the cooking process until you have two delicious looking pizzas. Serve immediately.
