I was at Safeway the other day and I discovered that they have expanded their vegan options, including finally having Daiya (but not the pepperjack kind). I bought the two kinds they did have and decided to make pizza later in the week. Safeway does not however have the other things I needed to make vegan pizza (well, some of them, but not the pizza dough I wanted) so I had to do a Whole Foods run to get the rest of the ingredients.
Making pizza is pretty easy, especially if you buy the dough. I got the frozen kind from Whole Foods.
Roll the dough out and let it rise for 20 minutes.
Add sauce, Daiya, and Tofurky pepperoni.
Add whatever veggies you want, this time I put olives, mushrooms and red peppers.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
Woah, you can buy frozen pizza dough? That’s awesome! You used to be able to buy a vegan pizza base here but the store seems to have discontinued them so now I have to make my own!
Whole Foods has frozen dough, Metropolitan Market (local Puget Sound region chain) has some from Essential Baking Company and Trader Joe’s has a refrigerated version as well.
That looks dee-lish. My favourite toppings are:
Caramelised onions
Mushrooms
Olives
Avocado
Crumbled tofu or Hummus (in place of cheese)
Now I want pizza!
The only regret I have is that it was a small pizza and since I had the rest for lunch today, it is now all gone. ;(
