How to Make Your Own Vegan Pizza

Jessica in the Kitchen

Pizza is one of the world’s most popular foods, and with good reason. It’s cheap and quick to make, very tasty, can be easily customised and filling too! Plus you save energy bills, and it does not require long cooking time. Let’s learn how to make vegan pizza!

Keep fresh dough away from children and pets. Read more on food safety for people and pets. Just bin tomato and allium scraps (garlic, onion, shallots, chives, leeks), as acids could harm compost compost creatures. Don’t give leftover pizza crust to garden birds or wildfowl (could choke, and salt is toxic).

Essential Ingredients for Vegan Pizza

To avoid palm oil, you can make your own dough. The easiest and quickest method is to combine self-rising flour and dairy-free Greek yoghurt, for a 2-ingredient pizza dough.

Or if you want to cheat, you can use The Northern Dough Co ready-made pizza doughs, which you can find in freezer aisles in grocery stores.

Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside does not recycle.

Once you’ve baked your dough, you simply smother the top with a tomato sauce (with herbs, optional minced garlic, herbs, salt and black pepper). Then top with sliced veggies of your choice (red onion, mushrooms, red pepper, pitted olives), sprinkle over some vegan mozzarella shreds (and optional vegan sausage) and a few fresh basil or spinach leaves.

Then bake for 10 to 15 minutes, taking care to watch so it doesn’t burn. Cool and eat!
