Makes 8 servings | 25 Minute Bake Time
Ingredients:
No Fail Pizza Dough
- 2 cups Bread Flour
- 1 cup Warm Water (100F-115F, luke warm to the touch)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Dried Thyme- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar (honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup, anything sweet!)
Directions:
- In either a stand mixer, or a large bowl combine together all the dry ingredients, if you’re using instant dry yeast add it to the dry but if you’re using any other type of yeast it will be added to your warm water in a separate bowl.
- If using non-instant yeast add it to the warm water with a tsp of sugar, and whisk this together. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast is frothy & foamy & alive!
- Add the water/yeast mixture and the olive oil to your dry ingredients and, if using a stand mixer with a bread hook begin on low until the flour is well incorporated into a wet dough and then turn up to high for five-ten minutes or until the dough is well kneaded. If you’re not using a stand mixer, combine the dough well by hand and then knead the dough on a well floured surface for 10-15 minutes or until the gluten is well formed.
- Once your dough is well kneaded transfer it to a well oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Allow this dough to sit and rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Once your dough has risen punch it down (to deflate the air pockets) and cut in two. You can use these now to make a pizza or freeze for later!
Vegan Feta
- 1/2 block Extra Firm Tofu, crumbled
- 1/2 block Culcherd Original Cheeze (or other soft nut-based vegan cheeze)
- 1 tsp White Miso
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/8 tsp Oregano
- Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Directions:
- Begin by crumbling your tofu in feta-sized chunks into a bowl.
- Then combine the rest of the ingredients and store in the fridge for later!
Creamy Cashew White Sauce
- 1 cup Cashews, soaked overnight (or boiled for 20 minutes)
- 1/2 cup Oat Milk (or other plant based milk, oat’s just my favourite at the moment)
- 1/4 block Extra Firm Tofu
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
Directions:
- Blend! For real just blend everything on this list, scraping down the edges of your blender or food processor as needed, until it forms a smooth & creamy pizza sauce (also good on pasta).
- Easy! Next!
