Homemade Vegan Mozzarella Pizza
Ingredients
Mozzarella
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons agar powder
- 2 tablespoons tapioca powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- optional spices such as vegetable stock seasoning
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 cup water
Pizza crust
- 3 cups flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active yeast
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon vegetable stock seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
Preparation
Blend all the mozzarella ingredients in a blender, scraping down the sides
Place the thick liquid in a pot and simmer while stirring continuously until thickened, about 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings if needed
Add yeast to warm water, add sugar, stir briefly, and leave in a warm place
Add all remaining pizza crust ingredients except olive oil and yeast mixture to a large bowl
Add olive oil and the yeast mixture to the bowl, then adjust consistency by adding more flour if too runny or more water if too doughy
Roll out the dough
Keeping an inch from the dough's edge, line the circle with the cheese
Fold the inch border around the edge over the cheese, tucking or forking it into the crust
Add marinara sauce, your choice of toppings, and the remaining cheese on top, then bake at 350F for 20 minutes
