Dairy-free mozzarella
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp agar powder
- 2 T tapioca powder
- 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and vegetable cubes (organic) and other spices to taste
- 2 T melted coconut oil
- 1 cup water
Pizza crust
- 3 cups flour

- 2 T olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
Preparation
Dairy-free mozzarella
Blend all the ingredients in a blender, scraping down the sides
Place the thick liquid inside a pot, and simmer and stir continuously until thickened. About 5 minutes
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed
Pizza crust and assembly
Add your yeast to the warm water. Then add sugar. Stir briefly and then leave in a warm place. We left ours unopened in the sun rays inside
Add all your remaining ingredients in a large bowl
Add olive oil and your yeast mixture. Add more flour if too runny or add more water if too doughy. Usually I need to add a bit of flour
Roll out your dough
Keeping an inch away from the dough’s edge, line the circle with the cheese
Fold the inch you left around the border onwards around the cheese, taking care to tuck or fork it into the crust
Place marinara sauce and your toppings and the remaining cheese on top and bake at 350F for 20 mins
