Last Friday night I made my boyfriend’s favorite, a homemade pizza with lots of vegetables. Pizza is always a treat, so I feel better about eating it when it’s prepared at home with fresh vegetables and vegan cheese. I prepped all the ingredients ahead of time and asked my man to roll out the crust when he got home from work. Rolling out the dough is the only part I dread, and he seems to enjoy it…especially when he knows he’s getting a huge pizza in return.
The crust was a a fresh whole grain pizza crust from Whole Foods that we rolled out into a thin rectangle to fit on my sheet pan. I saved time with canned pizza sauce made from Italian tomatoes (also from Whole Foods), but added some fresh basil to give it a boost of flavor. Then I sprinkled on my favorite Daiya vegan mozzarella “cheese” and chopped mushrooms, green bell peppers, and Tofurky Italian sausage. While I was waiting for my man to get home, I slowly caramelized some onions, and added those as an extra flavorful topping. Last but not least, I sprinkled some black pepper on top, and drizzled a thin stream of olive oil around the outside of the crust to help it get nice and crispy.
I baked it at 500 degrees for about 13 minutes, so it was crispy on the bottom. OMG it was good. Sooooo good. That is all.
