Ingredient Substitutions and Baking Tips
Although this recipe doesn’t call for cheese, you may not always go for cheese-free. Just add your favorite drop of your favorite master cheese. After spreading the pizza sauce on the crust, sprinkle the non-dairy cheese evenly but generously on top of the sauce. Top with your veggies and vegan meat (if using) and bake away.
There are additional ways to improve this recipe
Add some extra savor. Vegan Pesto batch sticks place it in front of the crust and before the pizza sauce or pesto pistapini to add vegetable pesto. Use tofu! Add Baked Tofu , GrilledTofu or even Tofu Ricotta to your pizza along with the veggies. Go French. After you’ve cooked your pizza, serve with Herbed Mushroom Pate slices for an extra rich kick. The flavors of soap and thyme make the pizza sing! Spice things up. Instead of using red sauce, spread it on top of a dairy-free Queso crust before baking and add a light jalapeno with the veggies. Serve with homemade salsa and guacamole on the side.
What you’ll need
