Make It a Pizza Night With This Recipe From ‘Plant You’

Share

Friday is pizza night in our home, and bar none, this is my favorite combination for an amazing homemade pizza that will wow both carnivores and vegans alike.

To make life easy, I use premade packages of fresh whole wheat pizza dough, which you can find at most mainstream grocery stores or Italian bakeries. Any experience I have had making my own whole wheat dough in the past has ended in disaster with flour and dough everywhere but the countertop, so I can‘t in good faith recommend it.

If you don’t love the topping choices listed, feel free to customize this with your favorites!

  • Pour a generous amount of the Vegan Mozzarella sauce directly from the blender onto the pizza, either in blobs to give a mozzarella effect or in streaks across the entire surface.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pizza crust instead, note and gluten-free flour to dust.

Pair this pizza with a toothsome salad recipe.
