Best Recipe for Vegetarian Pizza
Ingredients
- 16 ounces dairy-free vegan cheese
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- Whole-Wheat Crust, recipe follows
- 1 jar pizza sauce (recommended: Muir Glen Organic Sauce)
- 3 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into large chunks
- 1 orange bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into large chunks
- 2 medium red onions, cut into large chunks
- 4 portobello mushroom caps, cut into large chunks
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the cheese into large chunks that will fit in the shredder attachment of a food processor. Shred the cheese in the processor. Sprinkle cornmeal on a clean surface and roll out the dough until it is approximately 1/2-inch thick (should be about an 18-inch circle). Transfer dough to a pizza stone or rimless pan large enough to hold it.
- Spread the sauce over the surface of the crust, leaving approximately 1/2-inch of crust around the edge. Sprinkle the cut vegetables on top of the sauce and then sprinkle the cheese over the veggies.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot.
- Sift the flours together in a medium sized bowl. Place the yeast in a separate bowl and pour the warm water over it; let stand for about 5 minutes. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mixing for approximately 5 minutes. Set the dough aside to rise for approximately 2 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, roll out the dough to a circle that is approximately 1/2-inch thick and about 18 inches in diameter.
