Vegan Pizza with Homemade Mozzarella
Ingredients
Mozzarella
- 1 cup of cashews
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons of agar powder
- 2 tablespoons of tapioca powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- other spices like vegetable cubes (organic)
- 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
- 1 cup water
Pizza crust
- 3 cups flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active yeast
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable stock seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup of 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. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Add yeast to warm water, add sugar, stir briefly, and leave in a warm place to activate.
Add all remaining pizza crust ingredients to a large bowl.
Add olive oil and the yeast mixture to the bowl. Add more flour if too runny or more water if too doughy.
Roll out the dough.
Keeping an inch away from the dough’s edge, line the circle with the cheese.
Fold the inch left around the border over the cheese, tucking or forking it into the crust.
Place marinara sauce and your toppings and the remaining cheese on top and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
